Kelch Aviation Museum will begin Phase III with major grant designation

RENDING SUBMITTED The Independent-Register
The Kelch Aviation Museum’s third phase will become a reality thanks to the recent grant designation announcement from the The Wagner Foundation of Lyons, Wisconsin.

The Kelch Aviation Museum at Brodhead Airport announced last week the start of construction on its Phase III museum building project.

Construction of “The Dick and Bobbie Wagner Atrium” is only possible due to a very generous financial commitment by The Wagner Foundation of Lyons, Wisconsin, according to Patrick Weeden, the museum’s executive director.

The $XXXXXXX addition will commemorate the couple’s love for aviation.

The Wagner’s connection to the Brodhead Airport runs deep, as does their connection to Al and Lois Kelch, the original founders of the museum, Weeden said.
