Museum Exhibit Hall

Adjacent to the blockhouse, the Exhibit Hall features numerous space related displays on the important role of the Air Force in the development of space exploration as well as its continuing involvement.

The Exhibit Hall is an original structure to Launch Complex 26. It was an open-front parking revetment with three bays that provided some protection to vehicles and equipment parked at the complex. The 1968 photograph (below left) shows the structure with several museum exhibits inside.

The open front was later enclosed, the three parking bays were turned into three interior rooms with restrooms and a utility room added onto the back. The view (below right) shows the Exhibit Hall shortly after construction was completed.
