DEFENDING THE AMERICAN DREAM

Where courage met the clouds and heroes rose to meet an impossible threat

CAPE CORONADO, FLORIDA

The Last Line of Defense

Between 1917 and 1945, this peaceful coastal community became America's most crucial aerial defense installation. When enemy blimps threatened our shores, 47 brave defenders stood between freedom and invasion.

Today, their legacy lives on through our heritage attractions, interactive exhibits, and the world's only blimp-themed theme park. Experience history where it happened.
