Collections Wish List

The Fargo Air Museum boasts one of the largest U.S. Military Uniform collections in the State of North Dakota, with many of the uniforms having belonged to North Dakota and western Minnesota natives who served in the Armed Forces.

While the Fargo Air Museum wishes that it could accept every uniform that is brought in for donation, the collection's staff must make sure that the uniforms (and all artifacts) are fit for display by being in good condition, clean of any pests, are original and not reproductions, and have a connection to Fargo, North Dakota, or Western Minnesota. Due to these circumstances, the Fargo Air Museum cannot accept everything that is brought in for donation. Please contact our Collections Manager at max@fargoairmuseum.org or (701)-293-8043 to begin the artifact donation approval process.
