Good News for Oshkosh Tourism:

From today's Northwestern:

EAA Museum benefits from Titanic exhibit
I'm pleased to report that over the past few weeks there has been a noticeable increase in visitation to the EAA AirVenture Museum. However, we certainly can't take credit for it ourselves. The reason is the Titanic exhibit at the Oshkosh Public Museum bringing a large increase in out-of-town visitors!

We know from our own experience that such undertakings require significant organizational effort, and also carry a certain degree of risk. It's wonderful to see the exhibit having been a titanic success, raising the profile of the Oshkosh Public Museum and, in fact, benefiting the entire local tourism economy.

I'd like to congratulate and thank the Board, staff and volunteers of the Oshkosh Public Museum for their fine endeavors, and we hope to repay the favor later in the year, when the EAA AirVenture Museum takes its first trip into space.
