The Nicholas-Beazley Aviation Museum is located at 1985 South Odell Avenue in Marshall, Missouri. It was founded in 1921 by Russell Nicholas and Howard Beazley as a place to promote airplane propellers and other aviation-associated parts.

In no time, the Nicholas-Beazley Aviation Company expanded. Some of the parts for Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis were purchased from Nicholas-Beazley. The company was an airplane parts manufacturer during the 1920s and 1930s.

At the museum, visitors can learn about this company's legacy in aviation. The museum has exhibits including planes and other artifacts. It even has a flight simulator. This venue promises to educate both young and old on the history of aviation.

Russell Berryman Nicholas died on January 4, 1974, at age 78. Howard H. Beazley died on September 29, 1955, at age 61. Clearly, both of these men had a strong passion for the aviation field.

The museum is located at the Marshall-Odell Municipal Airport. It's open from Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tours are available by appointment. Call (660) 886-2630 for pricing information.

If you visit Marshall, be sure to go downtown to check out the murals. Also, see the famous Jim the Wonder Dog.
