Welcome to Magnuson Park, home of the Sand Point Naval Air Station Historic District and site of the first around-the-world flight.
Friends of Magnuson Park is the only non-profit organization dedicated to its historic preservation.
That has been our purpose since 2002, to preserve and interpret the long and rich history of Sand Point from its pre-contact uses by indigenous peoples through its role in local aviation and military history to today. Towards this goal we will continue to advocate for the long-term preservations of resources within the Historic District and proudly bring you educational exhibits and historic programming at the Park.
