Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Airbase Georgia marked a milestone on Sunday with its first participation in Georgia History Festival’s Super Museum Sunday presented by the Georgia Historical Society. The free, one-day event attracted approximately 450 visitors to the Peachtree City World War II flying museum, introducing hundreds of Georgians to Airbase Georgia’s mission to educate, honor, and inspire.
Of those attending, 378 visitors signed in as part of family or community groups, and for the majority, Super Museum Sunday marked their first visit to Airbase Georgia. Many guests traveled more than an hour to attend, underscoring the museum’s growing reach as a regional destination for public history and hands-on learning.
More than half of the visitors were families with school-age children. Interactive exhibits such as the Link Trainer and WWII ball turret proved especially popular with younger guests. Throughout the day, Airbase Georgia volunteers engaged visitors in personal conversations about WWII history, aviation heritage, and the mission of the Commemorative Air Force.
“Airbase Georgia was pleased to join the Georgia Historical Society and museums across Georgia in making Super Museum Sunday a success,” said Mark Richards, Airbase Georgia leader. “We are proud to have welcomed families from across the state and beyond, and to have helped our neighbors connect more deeply with their WWII history legacy. Events like this remind us why preserving and sharing these stories matters.”

Airbase Georgia’s successful debut at Super Museum Sunday reinforces the museum’s role as a “living classroom” and a key contributor to Georgia’s growing public-history ecosystem.
