Terrell’s historic downtown has older storefronts, murals and a commercial streetscape that can be explored on foot. The city’s visitor resources connect the district with local museums and an audio or map-based view of its history.

The Terrell Heritage Museum occupies the former Carnegie Library, built in 1904\. The No. 1 British Flying Training School Museum interprets a separate part of the city’s aviation history. Downtown and the airport-related museum should be planned as distinct stops.

### Places to know

**Historic downtown.** Older commercial buildings, murals and independent businesses form the district.

**Terrell Heritage Museum.** A museum and research archive in the former Carnegie Library.

**British Flying Training School Museum.** A museum documenting wartime aviation training in Terrell.

### Check at the address, not the town name

- Use the official visitor map and each museum’s current opening information; the two museums are not in the same building.
- For an older property, check available improvement records and the city’s applicable permit or historic-designation requirements before planning changes.
- School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: [TEA school district locator](https://tea.texas.gov/families-and-students/school-district-locator/school-district-locator?ref=tx.co), [FEMA flood maps](https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home?ref=tx.co), [county appraisal districts](https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/county-directory/?ref=tx.co).
