PRESERVING THE AIRSTREAM LEGACY
The Airstream Foundation
Airstream founder Wally Byam made history by building the world’s first Airstream travel trailer. Today, the non-profit Airstream Foundation honors nearly 100 years of history-making adventures by preserving vintage Airstreams and historic Airstream memorabilia for display in the Airstream Heritage Center museum.
