FREEDOM MUSEUM USA

Located in Memorial Park in Pampa, Texas, Freedom Museum USA is open Tuesday through Saturday from Noon until 4:00 p.m.  Special tours may be arranged by appointment. 

The Museum collection is located in an old water pumping station originally built by the WPA in 1939.  In August 1986, Pampa Army Airfield Reunion Association, later in conjunction with Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1657, began development of a museum to commemorate and honor those brave men and women who sacrificed so much that we might be free.  Freedom Museum officially opened in August 1994.  Remodeled and enlarged, Freedom Museum is currently staffed by volunteers and all contributions, which are tax-deductible, are directed fully to the development and maintenance of the facility.

All branches of the United States Armed Forces are represented in the Freedom Museum.  Exhibits of both official and private memorabilia from military and civilian sources offer a well-rounded view of American military history from the Revolutionary War to present conflicts.

The Museum also hosts educational visits for many schools throughout the Texas Panhandle through the Window on a Wider World program and other school programs. 

Freedom Museum USA is home to the Panhandle Veterans Hall of Honor. Beginning in 1999, warriors were chosen to be honored for their outstanding military and community service. At this time there are in excess of 140 Texas Panhandle warriors who have been honored on this wall to insure that their dedication and sacrifices were not forgotten.  This information is available for access on the computer and in printed form at the museum; or, online at https://freedommuseumusa.wordpress.com/panhandle-veterans-hall-of-honor . 

The Museum currently contains approximately 3600 square feet to house an amazing selection of exhibits.
