Wild Basin is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting an endangered habitat and encouraging wise stewardship through education. In addition to the display of our natural collections, we hope to develop interpretive displays inside our building and along out trails. Our educational programs will also expand to privide more specialized information for visitors, school groups, and teachers. The barriers are financial and time to create these. Resource Sharing Projects make it possible for the whole to become greater than the individuals. Many of us have differend audiences who never go to other facilities but would benefit from materials that are displayed or provided at the other museums.

Built in 1929 and originally the home of the Sweetwater Airport, Hangar One now houses the National WASP WWII Museum. Look for a poster in the lobby which highlights a little of the rich aviation history of Sweetwater. During WWII, this hangar was on the “Civilian Side” of Avenger Field, where commercial planes landed. The military side was located where the Texas State Technical College campus is today.

The museum is conveniently located just minutes off Interstate 20 at 210 Loop 170 in Sweetwater, Texas. Pilots flying over Sweetwater can land at Avenger Field - the Sweetwater Airport (SWW). The museum is a short distance away. For assistance with directions or in setting up special tours, call 325.235.0099.

We have erected a windmill and have acquired a historic log cabin, built in 1864. We have constructed a replica of a well and have provided a typical outhouse. Frances Colwell has published a booklet detailing the history of the cabin complete with many old photographs.

Mrs. Colwell has collected information and is preparing another historical book on the Thompson Cemetery. This cemetery was restored by the White Settlement Historical Society after decades of neglect and valdalism. The Judd Street Cemetery was also restored.

We hope to instill in the minds of the children in our area the importance of maintaining community history. We do this by encouraging school class visits and by taking our exhibits to school classes.
