HIDALGO COUNTY HISTORICAL MUSEUM
See the largest collection of exhibits and artifacts covering South Texas' fantastic-but-true history.
HCHM exhibits give a broad overview of the region, from prehistoric tribes through Spanish exploration
and colonization, the Mexican War, Rio Grande steamboat era, Civil War, early ranching and farming,
border wars and more.
Partially housed in the 1910 County Jail, HCHM includes a hangman's trap used for a public execution
in 1913. In 1970 the former jail became the first building for the museum. HCHM vividly preserves and
presents the borderland heritage of Northeastern Mexico and South Texas.
A historical archive is available for researchers. Located at 121 E. McIntyre on the Courthouse Square in
Edinburg. Open Tuesday through Sunday. Admission is $2.
