The star attraction at the Evergreen Aviation Museum is definitely the Spruce Goose, Howard Hughes' famous jumbo airplane. Being able to get up close to such a pivotal piece of aviation history is exciting, but I was pleased to realize that the Evergreen Aviation Museum is so much more than just the Spruce Goose. They have a great collection of aircraft, and if you time your visit right, you can get a guided tour by volunteers that used to fly the historical aircraft on display. Visiting this museum makes a great day trip from Portland, and will be enjoyed by the whole family.
