Scott Air Force Base is strategically located in the center of the nation. The base is 25 miles east of St. Louis, Missouri, near Belleville, Illinois. The Shiloh Gate entrance is 1.5 miles southeast of Interstate 64 (exit 19A) at Route 158. The four acre Heritage Park site will be located just north of the Shiloh Gate.

The site set aside for the Scott Field Heritage Air Park is located north of Siebert Road at the Scott AFB Shiloh Gate, which is the main entrance to the base. The Air Park will be accessible without entering Scott Air Force Base. The Air Park will be the new home for the C-140 JetStar, C-141 Starlifter, KC-135 Stratotanker and C-9 Nightingale, aircraft that have played significant roles in support of our nation's military.

Proposed Scott Field Heritage Air Park Visitor Center

Our long range plans call for building a visitor center that will contain information about the history of Scott Air Force Base and the aircraft on display in the Air Park. The Visitor Center will be located on the land owned by St. Clair County adjacent to Scott Air Force Base. Once completed, the Visitor Center will add an additional dimension to Scott Field Heritage Air Park, making a visit to the Air Park a "must see" event.
