The Widgeon is the smallest member of the Grumman family of amphibious aircraft and was originally intended for the civil market. The first prototype flew in 1940 and over 200 Widgeons were built between 1941 to 1948. The first production aircraft went to the U.S. Navy and during WWII the Widgeon was used as a small patrol, training, and utility aircraft. They also served with the Army Air Force, U.S. Coastguard, and the British Royal Navy who called it the Gosling. A Widgeon flying out of Houma, Louisiana was credited, in August 1942, with sinking the first German submarine sunk by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The museum's Widgeon was built in 1943. Its military record and history prior to 1967 is unknown, except that it was on the Canadian registry for a period of time. In 1967 it returned to the States and was modified by McKinnon Enterprises to become a “Super Widgeon”. Improvements included two Lycoming GO-480 engines, Hartzell 3 bladed propellers, metalized wings and flaps, and an increase in gross weight to 5,500 lbs.

N13122 was donated to the Museum by Mr. and Mrs. James Magoffin who were owners and founders of Interior Airways, Alaska International Air, and MarkAir. It was the Magoffins personal aircraft and they enjoyed flying it throughout Alaska, Canada, and the Lower 48.
