The Historic Aviation Memorial Museum (HAMM) is located on the grounds of Tyler Pounds Regional Airport. Tyler and East Texas have innumerable individuals who have had first-hand experience in historic aviation events during times of both peace and war. What a wonderful opportunity it is to share these individuals' testimonials and memorabilia with our community.
An example of those East Texans who have served so ably in World War II is the late Museum member, Captain Elmer Dixson, USAF 3rd Photo Reconnaissance Squad, 20th Air Force (the official photographers of Japan during World War II) whose history is presented in a museum book entitled "From Tyler, Texas to Tokyo."
Hours: Tuesday to Saturday - 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Sunday - 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Adults: $5.00, Seniors (65+): $4.00. Active Military (with ID): Free.
Also in the area: Highly recommended is the grub at the Skyline Cafe next door. The food is all made from scratch.
