Norton Air Force Base Museum

My friend Jim invited me to join him to visit the Norton Air Force Museum in San Bernardino today, when we arrived we were greeted by Docent Bill who was very knowledgeable about the history of the Museum, he had us sign in and gave us the tour, my friend Jim served there from 1971-1977, and enjoyed talking with Bill about some shared experiences during that time. Myself I was reacquainted with Jo Ann Webb who I'd worked with during our time with Route 66 Rendezvous Car Show and Cruise until it ended in 2012...It was great to see her after all these years, and catching up...

Interesting museum with lots of cool memorabilia. Very knowledgeable staff onsite. Definitely worth checking out.

The Norton Air Force Base Museum has been showcasing fascinating history related to the base since 2013. The exhibits feature a range of artefacts and photos related to former military and civilian personnel who worked at the base. You can tour the museum on your own or take a guided tour with a veteran who was once stationed at the base.

The people here are so nice. We didn’t know what to expect; Ken met us at the door and gave me and participants a tour. All of the staff were so nice and understanding. Would recommend it to everyone especially any Day program

Nice small museum with excellent docents who provide tons of information. It's easiest to find if you turn in from 3rd street, otherwise you'll have to drive all the way around the building to find the museum entrance. The museum entrance faces north. They have tons of memorabilia and even a piece of the Berlin Wall!

The museum is free and it's tiny, but there's a lot to look at. There's a section of the Berlin wall outside that's worth seeing. The airport terminal is closed on Saturdays. They have regular commercial flights out of there, but not on Saturdays

I highly recommend going to this place. The staff was very welcoming and made you feel at home. They gave you a personal tour and showed you around. The people that took you on the tour are people who where in the air force and worked and lived on base. They had so much info and made me appreciate what the people who work to help protect us even more

This is a great museum that's one room, but it contains a LOT of items! The nice tour guide, an elderly veteran, was great with the information, however, I really, really wish we were informed/asked if we wanted a tour and told how long it would be and if we did want the tour, asked if we wanted a full or condensed version. We were given this tour the moment we walked in as if it's assumed that we wanted a tour. Yes, it was informative, but I honestly didn't expect to stay here for a full two hours while the guide went quite extensively through everything (on one of my last two days off from work I might add). I would have rather walked through and saw everything on my own. It's free to go to, but I gave a donation. If we didn't have the tour, we would have been in and out in 20-30 minutes.
