RAF Halton Trenchard Museum

The museum was formally opened by Viscount Trenchard, grandson of Marshal of the Royal Air Force Lord Trenchard, on 29 June 1999, as part of the station's 80th anniversary celebrations. The exhibits cover the building of Halton House by Alfred Rothschild in 1883, the 1913 Army and RFC manoeuvres leading to the extensive military use of the estate during the First World War, the RAF takeover in 1918 and the apprenticeship years 1920 - 1993. The museum also covers the hospital and the dental school, the Halton railway, the churches and the present training facilities.
