Do you like America? Do you love freedom? Then you will absolutely love this museum!…read more My wife and snuck down to Tyler for a weekend and this was a place we wanted to see! The museum is very well presented and well kept. The artifacts on display are simply amazing! You get to walk through the hall of presidents, and then view Americas history through the cost of war. Starting with revolutionary war and the build up to it through the Afghanistan conflict. There is more to see and read than can be taken in in one visit. We spent several hours in there, and even as a bit of a history buff myself, I walked away with some new information. Highly recommended for those who have in interest in what it has cost to create, expand, and defend the principles that America offers! Well done team! Thank you, Morris'

Probably about the same amount as the average Joe or Jane. They've got fish in tanks on displays, as well as crocodiles (not in tanks though, but in their own enclosure). They've got an exhibit on models of fish caught over the year. Some get pretty big and impressive as well as an insane amount of lures. They have a quick little show with a giant tank and diver in it teaching about the different fish there. We followed it with a tram tour around the fishery. They showed where the fish was kept and explain the process. Towards the end they'll offer to let you off so you can walk back through their marsh walkway or take you back on the tram. We opted for the walk since it was such a beautiful day out and it was scenic and a good short walk to get the heart going. My favorite part was the fishing pond they have. They'll even set you up with rod and lures to fish there as part of your admission. Before they send you off, they'll give you a quick little spiel to get you started. Ask if you're needing more information. The man running this station is super helpful! We didn't catch anything but it was still a lot of fun. We did see others catch fish. Highly recommend, especially if you have children!

I watched the 8 minute film and walked around with a gracious senior lady who explained to me why the phone hanging out of the wall was cool and that the typewriters on display in the office set up were from 1880 or thereabouts. A couple large train dioramas and sets of Railroad china in hutches complete your tour. Creepy czech dolls in the small gift shop are just plain creepy.
