Midland overview

Also known as ‘The Tall City’ thanks to its towering downtown skyline, Midland in Texas is also famed for its petroleum exploration and extraction. With a museum dedicated to the city’s history in this field (the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum) it’s clear to see that the petroleum industry has had a huge effect on shaping the city into what it is today. Another key attraction for history buffs has to be the American Airpower Heritage Museum. As the name suggests, this museum focuses on the history of Midland during World War Two and includes artifacts and memorabilia from this turbulent time. Those with a little more time to spare should check out the impressive archives and onsite research library. With tons of oral history accounts available for public use, it’s a great way of discovering the past from the people who lived through the events. If the present interests you more than the past then fear not. Midland is also home to numerous cultural attractions and entertainment venues. The McCormick Art Gallery, located on the city’s university campus, displays various exhibitions by students and visiting artists throughout the year, which delight and intrigue those who visit. Try and see one of the 15 annual shows at The Midland Community Theatre during your stay if you can. Having entertained both locals and visitors since 1946 with various musicals and comedy shows, the Theatre is a much-loved part of Midland’s cultural fabric.
