Perrin AFB Historical Museum

If you live in Grayson County I highly recommend visiting this museum. It took me about an hour to walk through the entire thing. They have lots of neat artifacts from World War I up to Desert Storm. There's also some history of the Air Force Base. I enjoyed talking to the two ladies in the office.

They have updated the museum since I last visited about 10 years ago, the people are SO nice and helpful !!

It was an afternoon with five guys (non military) and three preschoolers looking for a place to hang out. When I suggested a "gun show," they were all in. We stepped through the door about 4:00 (closing time 4:30). We were greeted and invited to stay as long as we would like. WOW 👌 Better than a gun show. Kids liked the airplanes, guys liked the guns, and gramps (me) liked the history. What a way to spend our day. Now... back to a baby shower for desert.

This museum is absolutely fantastic! The guides are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The museum itself is clean, well organized, and beautiful! Nice little gift shop, too. I will definitely be going back because there is so much to see and learn about!!

An absolute pleasure visiting the museum. I was born there and wanted to find some information for my father who was stationed there. ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE VISIT. FILLED WITH MILITARY HISTORY FROM ALL BRANCHES OF OUR MILITARY. The people who work there do so as a labor of love for our country. I salute them.

Learned a lot while visiting here. We went for my daughter who is 8 and wants to be in the Air Force and they explained a lot to her about what it was like back then to now. History is amazing and I think good to know. They don't necessarily charge, but you should leave something for their time and service, they deserve it and more! Thank you all very much! Thank you for your service!

This was a great museum to visit. The volunteers are very knowledgeable. And they give personal tours. Plus they said everything in the museum was kid touch approved. They want kids to play with the displays. This Air Force Base that the museum is based on played a huge role in World War II and the Vietnam war and in Texas. It's a must see museum.

Went to the Korean War Armistice on Aug 6. Charlie Brown speech was just the best ever. Love that man. So much history.

Great museum with very friendly and helpful docents working to ensure your visit is top notch! We were the first to use their new tablet information units spread throughout the facility and they were extremely helpful and very user friendly. Simply tap a button and a video recording comes to life (the staff members made each recording) explaining things that are on display nearby. Many of these tablets were spread throughout the displays, making our visit even more informative. There are far too many displays to take in during a single visit so we will need to come back. Excellent work from everyone, and they even have a Tweet (T-37) aircraft on the floor for all to see! Many, many items are there to be touched making it very kid friendly as well. Outstanding full size displays of life at the base when it was first established. If you are in the area this is a MUST SEE location for military/history buffs! Kudos to the staff, thank you!

This is a great museum, a lot of history on the Army Air corps / Air Force. Plus information on other branches of the military. If you're in the area this is definitely one to stop at

A good experience, very good atention, Mr. Harold, an excellent person and very kind.

The staff do an incredible job bringing the history of this museum to life! Such a rich history in Sherman I never realized before. Lots of local stories from around the world. Or maybe global stories from Sherman? However you look at it. I am looking forward to finding growing ways to help support this museum to keep these stories alive.

Great little hidden gem of a museum. The staff is super friendly and willing to give you a guided tour telling you about all sorts of different items on display.

Excellent friendly staff! Plenty to read and explore. Very nice shirts to purchase as well. Highly recommend.

I love this place. Brings back a lot of memories. Worth your time to visit. Just two pictures. You need to come see it all for yourself

Awesome tour for donation. They have an upcoming movie, The Great Escape on the 18th of this month I think.

Absolutely worth the visit, the volunteers were such a pleasure and provided a very informative tour of the museum, the articles on display, and the history of Perrin Airforce Base.

Set aside some time to take it all in, items range from pre-WWI to Dessert Storm. Make sure to catch a tour with one of the "A" Team members on Fridays!

*This museum is available at no cost to you and 100% run on it's volunteers... Please make sure to leave a cash donation so they can continue to provide such an amazing experience!

Lots of History in this place.

This was a nice aviation museum to visit, not only displayed Perron AFB memorialbilia but other interesting military artifacts

Outstanding piece of history with super friendly staff/Volunteers. I have been here before the museum was a full building and it was awesome to see all the memories I know in the museum as well. They were friendly and had guided tours or you could walk on your own. It is handicap accessible however the front entry has a little slope just due to being where it is. Parking is easy and finding the facility is very easy to see. No charge but a donation is recommended and is well worth your time and money. They have a good attention to detail and a lot of good hands on and other displays. I will be back.
