Santa Paula Aviation Museum

After the St. Francis Dam disaster in 1928, local ranchers Ralph Dickenson and Dan Emmet decided some of the devastated area adjacent to the river would make a good location for an airport. Ralph obtained $1,000 each from 19 local ranchers and businessmen and they began building, with their own hands, the Santa Paula Airport. This was the first airport in Ventura County. It opened in August 1930 with a dedication celebration that included air races, aerobatics and parachuting, a visit from the Goodyear Blimp, and featured many famous aviators of the time such as Art Goebel, Roscoe Turner, Pancho Barnes, Jimmy Doolittle and Hawley Bowles. With a population of 7,200, Santa Paula had more airplanes per capita than any other community in the nation.Every First Sunday of the month, please come out to visit our Museum! Local aviation history comes alive on First Sundays. Our Chain of Hangars are open for you to explore from 10am until 3pm.
