The Lone Star Flight Museum is a 501c3 aviation museum and STEM learning center with a mission to celebrate flight and achievements in Texas aviation history as well as educate and engage youth through science, technology, engineering and math. It opened to the public in November 1990 at Scholes Field in Galveston, Texas, added the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame in 1999, and relocated to Houston at Ellington Airport in 2017. The Texas Aviation Hall of Fame was established in 1995 through a resolution by the 74th Texas Legislature and signed by then Gov. George W. Bush to honor famous aviators who are Texans and famous Texans who are aviators.
