Our Team

The vision for this museum was brought to life by a dedicated team passionate about preserving and promoting the sport of skydiving.

Megean Solberg | Founder

Following the establishment of the Don Solberg North Dakota Legacy Skydiving Foundation, Megean founded the North Dakota Skydiving Museum as the next step in honoring her father’s incredible impact on the sport. Driven by her father’s entrepreneurial spirit and vision, Megean feels he is still working through her to bring this project to life. This work has become a life-changing priority for her, allowing her to share the history of skydiving in North Dakota while celebrating what the sport has evolved into today.

Megean’s vision for the museum is a place where people can come to see the history and evolution of skydiving equipment, from parachutes to jumpsuits, and understand the legacy her father created. She also oversees the museum’s dual function as an active office for Skydive Fargo.

Donna Solberg | Director
Donna met Donald Solberg in 1968, by 1969 they were happily married! Today, Donna works as the Director of the North Dakota Skydiving Museum continuing her husband’s legacy.
