About THE MOFFETT field historical society

As reflected by our mission statement, the Moffett Field Historical Society is dedicated to education about and preservation of the heritage of one of Northern California’s most significant historic sites—Moffett Field. Find out more about the Society’s story and how you can help us achieve our mission through membership and/or donations.​

​We recognize Moffett Field’s namesake, Rear Admiral William Moffett, who lost his life in the crash of the Macon’s sister ship, the dirigible Akron. ​In December 1915, Moffett received the Medal of Honor for his captaincy of the USS Chester in a daring and dangerous night landing in 1914 at Veracruz, Mexico. His Medal of Honor is on display at the museum.
