Preserving Our Heritage: An Update on the Airport Weather House

Preserving Our Heritage: An Update on the Airport Weather House
We’re excited to share the formation of our new airport board, a significant step forward in overseeing the development and preservation of our beloved airport. However, as we look to the future, we also face challenges rooted in our history. One such challenge is the condition of the 95-year-old weather house, an iconic structure that has weathered Wyoming’s harsh climate for nearly a century.
A Weathered PastThe weather house has stood as a testament to the resilience and history of aviation in our region. Unfortunately, the relentless winter elements have taken a severe toll on the structure. The roof, which is central to maintaining the integrity of the building, is in dire need of replacement. Years of exposure to wet and freezing conditions have left the frame vulnerable, with parts of the structure now exposed to further damage.
Keeping the Originality IntactOur goal is to restore the weather house while preserving its original character and historical significance. We aim to honor its legacy by maintaining the design and materials that have defined its unique charm for decades. However, achieving this requires immediate action and resources.
Funding the RestorationWithout state or federal funding, the burden falls on us to ensure the weather house does not deteriorate beyond repair. To address this, we are launching a private fundraising initiative to gather the necessary funds for the roof replacement. Every contribution brings us closer to preserving this vital piece of our aviation history.
How You Can HelpYou can support the restoration of the weather house by purchasing official Airmail Aviator merchandise from our store. A portion of the proceeds from these sales will go directly toward funding the new roof and safeguarding this historic structure for generations to come.
Together, we can ensure that the weather house continues to stand strong, a symbol of our community’s commitment to honoring the past while building toward the future. Your support means the world to us and the legacy we’re working to preserve.
Thank you for being a part of this important mission. Let’s keep our history alive!
