I walked in earlier, trying to find a good place to go for early voting. Even though it's not here,…read morethe staff was very friendly & helpful. And people come here to pay their taxes.

The Chandler Texas Museum and Visitors Center is a "must see" destination for anyone visiting…read moreChandler who has an interest in the history of Chandler Texas. They have 2 historic buildings that were relocated to a convenient and well maintained, beautiful setting as you enter town. Excellent displays and artifacts in addition to historic photos and exhibits. Nancy, the curator has a wealth of knowledge of all of the displays and is a lifetime resident and descendent of the original founders of Chandler Texas. Be sure to allow plenty of time to see all of the terrific moments from the past. Enjoy!

This place is deplorable. It's so dusty in here, I couldn't even go in to see the art. I don't know…read moreif it's the carpet, or the ventilation system, or what, but it smells very old, dusty and unhealthy. Even the staff complain of frequent respiratory symptoms, just sitting there at the desk all day. You know, if you're going to call yourself a museum (and charge admission!), you have to meet certain standards - like breathability in your building!!! This place would be a joke if it weren't so disappointing. Oh, Tyler... Tyler, Tyler, Tyler... First your miserable, wretched loop of nothing but strip malls, chain restaurants and parking lots; then your frustrating, pathetic library... and now this. It's sad.

So what do Norman Rockwell, collage genius Lance Letscher and the Illuminated Bible have in common?…read moreThey were all on exhibit at the little ol' TMA. (Forgive the terrible intro...) Admittedly, as an art teacher and painter, I am always in support of museums, no matter how dinky, in small towns. But the TMA is a great space and hosts some fantastic exhibits each year. It's tucked away on the Tyler Junior College campus, and its nondescript exterior hides a lovely cafe area, three ample gallery spaces and a cute patio area with fountain and outdoor sculptures. It's never expensive and hosts several fun events throughout the year. Best of all, somehow the TMA manages to get their hands on some truly stellar pieces... the collection of art books by Letscher a couple years ago was one of the best I've seen (take it from a former Dallas- and Paris-resident). I wish their website were more information and interactive and that they were more visible in the community, but the TMA is without a doubt one of the hidden jewels of Tyler. And when you're done there, wander across the street to the TJC art department to see their rotating exhibits..

It's always hit or miss regarding what you're going to encounter in small city and town museums…read more I was in downtown Tyler on business and just happened to park across the street from this building. Upon investigation I found a nice young lady that told me about the small local history museum,the building and some Tyler history. Very knowledgeable and much appreciated. She pointed out this building was originally an Andrew Carnegie Library. I love the story about his magnanimous philanthropy effort that built libraries across the country Glad I found this one.

Although if more people came, I'd worry the lake would get too crowded. It was great getting to wave to the boats from the docks in the neighborhood. Too bad it was over so fast. Oh well, next year!

Such a nice out-of-the-way & off-the-beaten-path place for a theatre. I came here to see "39 Steps"…read moreseveral months ago. Last night I came with a group of other single ladies in the area, since they had an extra ticket for "Legally Blonde". It was weird that to check in to this location, I had to step outside. People were saying that the metal building blocks phone signals. But it was a wonderful play! It was difficult to get in & out of the parking lot, & it may get crowded out there. But I hope to go to other plays here!
