The historic B-17 Flying Fortress was a heavy Bomber, an aircraft of great magnitude.  The B-17 was vital to America’s Victory against the Axis powers during WWII.   The Lacey Lady, a B-17G, was dedicated in 1947 by the late Art Lacey to represents all those who have served valiantly to preserve our freedom at home and abroad during that watershed time in our American history.  The Lacey Lady served for nearly 70 years as an iconic gas station landmark in Milwaukee, Oregon, but now she has a much larger role to take on.  The Lacey Lady is the centerpiece for our World War II Museum and Education Center built to Honor the American Spirit.

Under these Wings • We Preserve American History • We Educate Generations • We Inspire Community
