Veterans’ Museum

Location: Halls

The Veterans’ Museum at Dyersburg Army Air Base (DYAAB) in Halls, Tennessee, offers a profound glimpse into America’s military history. Situated on the grounds of the former WWII B-17 Flying Fortress training base—the only inland facility of its kind east of the Mississippi River—the museum honors the legacy of the 7,700 airmen who trained there between 1942 and 1945 . Exhibits span from World War I through modern conflicts, featuring artifacts, photographs, and personal stories that bring history to life. Highlights include a detailed diorama of the original base layout, a Holocaust display, and a memorial dedicated to the 115 crewmen who lost their lives during training . Open daily, the museum provides an educational and moving experience for visitors of all ages.
