Northwest Airlines History Center jobs and careers

About Northwest Airlines History Center

Our mission is to preserve and display the memory of Northwest Airlines’ colorful history; to tell the stories of carriers merged and allied with NWA, and the stations and regions they served; to show how the legacy of NWA carries on into the future; and to inspire youth to pursue aviation careers and interests. We are an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation registered in the State of Minnesota; volunteer-staffed and volunteer-managed. The NWAHC has no operational or financial tie to Delta Air Lines, but Delta allows us to use still-active NWA intellectual property. Our museum location across from MSP International Airport inside the Crowne Plaza AiRE Hotel is open to the public Thursdays - Saturdays. Our archive location at the Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie is not open to the public but supports research and historic preservation. We have a long-term goal of building a permanent museum in the MSP metro area with airfield access that will include full-size airliners, training equipment, and associated materials; extensive displays; classrooms and lab space; and community amenities to both celebrate commercial aviation and also encourage youth to grow their STEM and social studies knowledge and pursue careers in travel-related industries. Before we start advocacy for specific airport sites and general fundraising, the NWAHC is growing its Board of Directors to add strategic skills, and building financial and operational models to use in reaching out to various communities of partners, museum users, and potential donors. We are always seeking volunteers to work as docents at our museum location, as well as to help with library, research, and communications projects. NWA, Republic, North Central, Mesaba, and associated companies touched every aspect of society in the Northland, and the stories we hear and tell are fascinating - please consider joining us!
