Surrounded by the beautiful Piney Woods region of East Texas, Tyler has become the center for tourism, retirees, and young families. Lured by the discovery of oil fields in the early 1930s, a major railway and large companies moved into this once-small village. Not content to be just an oil town, residents started the largest rose bush industry in the US, built two hospitals, hosted three universities, and developed city parks full of trees, flowers, and sports facilities. Seven preserved historic districts showcase Tyler’s love of their city.

There is something to do in Tyler during every season, from craft festivals like the Azalea Arts Festival and carriage rides in the Azalea Historic District in the spring, to splash pads at P.T. Cole Park or free summer movies at Bergfeld Park followed by an “all the way” Texas hamburger at Jucy’s. Enjoy East Texas Symphony at the University of Texas’ Vaughn Auditorium. Don’t forget to cap off your evening at Just Pies with some locally roasted coffee and a slice of their famous pecan pie.

Author, world traveller, and Texas native Ann Bush has visited every corner of Tyler, Texas, and in 100 Things to Do in Tyler, Texas, Before You Die, she’ll share the best it has to offer. From hometown favorites to off-the-beaten path events, you’ll find something for everyone.
