See the largest collection of exhibits and artifacts covering South Texas' fantastic-but-true history. MSTH 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, MSTH includes a hangman's trap used for a public execution in 1913. In 1970, the
former jail became the first building for the museum. MSTH 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,
the Museum is open Tuesday - Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Free Admission on Saturdays from 10:00-12:00 (excluding special events) For more information call the museum
