What a Gem in Terrell, Texas. We were in Terrell for a 6 p.m. wedding and had all day Saturday to…read moreexplore the area. We were researching the area and found the No.1 Brittish Flying Museam and decided to pay it a visit. It is located at the Terrell airport in an unpretentious metal building and accompying metal hanger. There is an interesting story about the No. 1 Brittish Flying School, how it came about and contributed to training around 2,200, mostly Brittish pilots during WWII. The impact the school had on Terrell, the Brittish, and the war effort. We were met at the door by the Executive Director of the musueam and shortly thereafter joined another couple and board member on a tour of the musueam. The musueam has preserved the history of what happened in Terrell during WWII with numerous displays, exhibits, and photographs. In the hanger they have two aircraft, one a restored Stearman bi-plane used by the students. If you are interested in WWII history, or aviation, this little musueam is worthy of a trip to Terrell, Texas. This is the link to their web site: https://www.bftsmuseum.org/

We recently held a rehearsal dinner for 50 guests at the Number 1 British Flying Training School…read moreMuseum and it was perfect. From the moment we booked it until the end of the dinner I could tell we were in great hands. Gerrie, the museum representative, was available for us to come out to look over the facility. She also helped us decide on the layout of the room. The museum had tables and chairs for us to use for our dinner. The venue also had table clothes, water glasses, and some other items available. I was actually the last one to arrive for the party but fortunately Gerrie and Bill were graciously greeting all the guests and either guiding them on a tour through the Museum (which is very interesting) or directing them to the drink station and their tables. We feel like we hit the jackpot when we learned about the "No 1 BFTSM" as a venue for the Rehearsal Dinner we were giving and would 100% recommend the museum as a great and unique place for an event!

Inside the museum are exhibits that teach about electricity, facts about the Railway system, and fascinating pieces of Plano history. Plenty of buttons to push and things to do for kids (and adults). The staff is super friendly and happy to show you around and give you a personal tour of the historic railway car outside. There's even a weekly story time for kids every Friday at 11 am. Located in old Plano at the Eastern border of Haggard Park (near the DART station). A hidden gem!

The museum has a lot of potential to be better, especially with the available space. I came here last summer and the A/C wasn't working. The first level showcases paintings from various decades and is where the gift shop is located. The upstairs showcases local artists and has a study filled with autobiography and biography books. Though the study is filled with memorabilia, the furniture in the study needs an upgrade. I appreciated learning about the history of athletes in the DFW area.

They began by learning about the seven elements of art in a clear and age appropriate way. After that, they created their own clay sculptures, which allowed them to apply what they had learned in a hands on and meaningful way. The highlight was when a docent guided the students through the galleries and taught them about different art pieces. The explanations were thoughtful, interactive, and kept the students genuinely interested. Our class left inspired, excited, and talking about art long after we left. This was an excellent educational experience, and I highly recommend the Meadows Museum for school field trips or anyone looking for a rich and memorable art experience.

I found the Christian altarpieces from the 1600's decorated with saints and demons intriguing - some of the demons are quite fanciful, think "Here there be monsters." I also enjoyed the portraits of European nobility. The security guards here are stern, but also very knowledgeable - it's worth striking up a conversation with them. There's a small gift shop on the first floor carrying all the typical things you might expect: burnt silk shawls, well-made children's toys of natural materials, jewelry, postcards and books. The museum is quite small, but still worth a visit - the SMU campus is beautifully maintained and adds to the tranquility and calm you will experience here.
