The Kingman Army Airfield Historical Society has created a museum to preserve the field's history with artifacts, photos, and displays. It also includes recognition of all conflicts in which Americans have served. The collection also includes many poignant tales and mementos from combat in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.

The museum is in the atmosphere of one of the last remaining buildings capable of being restored at the Kingman Airport. It is in an original 1942 wooden hangar at what's now Kingman's airport.

In 1943 during the darkest hours of World War II, the army hastily constructed a vast training camp northeast of Kingman to prepare gunners, pilots, and copilots for battles in the air. By war's end 35,000 cadets had earned their certificates here.
