In 1956, Dowagiac High School graduate Captain Iven C. Kincheloe set the altitude record in the Bell X-2, becoming the first person to go above 100,000 feet and achieve weightlessness in space.
See photos and documents from the extensive Kincheloe Collection at the museum as you hear the tale of Captain Kincheloe from his time growing up on a farm outside of Cassopolis to his years as a test pilot during the early days of the United States space program.
