It was then part of the Western New Mexico Aviation Heritage Museum, which honors early aviation pioneers who flew the Los Angeles-to-Amarillo segment of the Midcontinental Airway.[2]
It is a flight service station that was built in 1953 to serve the Grants-Milan Municipal Airport. "The museum also includes two 1929 structures, a 55-foot beacon tower, an electric generator shed and a re-creation of the giant concrete arrow on the ground that helped direct aviators. Many of those concrete arrows survive in the western U.S."[2]
