Union Pacific Bush 4141 Locomotive & Marine One Helicopter Pavillion

Completed for President George H.W. Bush’s centennial on June 12, 2024, the 31,000‑square‑foot pavilion permanently houses the Bush 4141 Locomotive— which carried the President from Houston to his final resting place in College Station—alongside the Marine One helicopter. McKissack’s thoughtful design creates an immersive experience that honors President Bush, the Bush family legacy, and the historical significance of Union Pacific’s role in this national tribute. The pavilion also enhances the broader museum campus, featuring a visitor center with dining, retail, restrooms, and support spaces that extend existing exhibits. Designed for day‑ and night‑time use, the facility provides a flexible backdrop for events, increases visitor engagement, and reinforces the site as a vibrant destination celebrating history, service, and legacy.
