Siskiyou Smoke Jumper Museum

Siskiyou Smoke Jumper Museum

Also known as the Siskiyou Smokejumper Base, the Illinois Valley Airport was built by the U.S. Forest Service as one of the original smokejumper bases in the U.S. It was in operation from 1943 to 1981, dispatching airborne fire crews to quickly control lightning fires in the surrounding wilderness areas, keeping them small and manageable. The historic Siskiyou Smokejumper Base is located at Illinois Valley Airport south of Cave Junction and is the oldest-standing aerial firefighter base in the USA. During the past four years museum members and supporters from the local community have been working to restore buildings and retrofit the grounds back to the way it looked during its peak operation years in the late 1950s. A Twin Beech aircraft similar to the ones used during that time period was recently acquired by the museum and the plan is to retrofit the interior to look like a smokejumper plane from the 1950s. The plane will be part of the tour visitors can enjoy when they come to see the base. Visitors can enjoy a self guided walking tour of the base anytime during the day and there are often opportunities for tours of the buildings. There is no charge to visit the base or take tours.
