The museum features an impressive collection of artifacts and memorabilia from the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Shuttle programs as well as special exhibits on the Women of Space, unmanned missions, and the future of space exploration. The exhibit halls also feature spacecraft parts, astronaut suits, and mementos of the Soviet space program. A special section of the museum allows visitors to experience the sounds and sensations of an actual countdown and launch from Launch Complex 16 at Cape Canaveral. The museum also contains the original Atlas Centaur launch consoles from launch pad 36A where visitors of all ages can sit in front of active console displays, throw switches, and imagine they are controlling an Atlas launch. The museum streams a daily “Stay Curious” presentation on Facebook Live at 4:00 pm. The 20-30 minute program narrates space history with artifacts from the museum collection, provides the latest launch information from Kennedy Space Center, and presents interviews with former space workers of the Apollo and Shuttle eras. The museum is a must-see attraction, especially for visitors who have come to Titusville to observe a current launch.

Titusville’s first aviation center, the Arthur Dunn Airpark, was established as a county airport in 1927. It was originally a 45-acre property leased to Brevard County by three local families to be used as an emergency landing strip for the US Airmail. During the initial term of the lease, Mr. Arthur Dunn, then serving as a Brevard County Commissioner, supported the acquisition of an additional 40-acre tract located north of the emergency landing field. This act of support for the small airport was acknowledged by county leaders by naming the field after him. The leases on the entire 85-acre property remained in effect until 1947, when the county purchased it primarily as a base for its mosquito control operations. During WWII, it was also used as an auxiliary training field for navy pilots operating out of Sanford Airfield and the Titusville-Cocoa Auxiliary Field, now known as Space Coast Regional Airport. In 1966 the county transferred ownership of the Arthur Dunn Airpark to the Titusville-Cocoa Airport Authority. It is now used as a base for skydiving and private aviation.
