Our mission
The CR Smith Museum preserves the history of American Airlines and explains what it takes to run the airline, as told through the perspective of the team members who work there. Through its activities, the Museum serves schools, the general public and American Airlines team members. The Museum is committed to education, with a focus on hands-on, interactive learning.
