History at its finest...

Salazar Art Nation

I spent most of the day there just soaking up the history of South Texas,especially the Rio Grande. I've lived in the valley most of my life and i never knew we had so much history. It's a good place for the family.

Michael Vincent Ochoa

Yet a other fine place to spend a day. The building is both modern and respective of period Spanish colonial architecture. The exhibits are colorful and well thought out. The museum also hosts the largest collection of historical photographs in South Texas.

Vicente Rodriguez

Was nice to go back and visit a childhood place that I went to when I was in school.. can't wait till they open the jail section back up... Very nice and courtious workers...

Vanessa Borgia

Awesome place to bring your family. They have different events, but by far the event for "el dia de muertos" is one of the greatest. The pioneer and ranching one is not so good. I'm not so comfortable with people abs the defeated Confederate flag, and over priced powder aguas frescas. Besides all that, everything else is great! I love the prehistoric exhibition specially!

LightSp33d

Cool i guess

El Mesteño Ranch - Camille Marie

This has to be one of THE BEST museums in Deep South Texas! There Sunday Speaker Series, Happy Hour events, and annual events are superb! I encourage you to visit this lovely Museum. I visited this museum for the first time within the last year. Frankly, I was surprised at how much--- information, items, artifacts, and history---is contained in this wonderful, visually-appealing Spanish-style Museum. I would venture to say that one could spend hours in hear and still not see everything in a day. I enjoyed it so much so that I purchased an annual membership!

Linda Craig

Layed out well...made history easy to inderstand, and interesting and enjoyable. Staff friendly and knowledgeable and informative.

antonia medellin

Enjoyed presentatio on Underground Railroad trabeling south.

Awesome

Lisandra B

We arrived at 4:40, the doors were locked, we walked around thinking we were at the wrong doors, after a few minutes someone stepped outside and told us the museum was closed. We tried to ask their hours of operation but the lady closed the door so fast we were unable. It turns out the museum close at 5:00pm. I understand that 20 minutes is not enough time to enjoy the place or give a tour but it is certainly enough time to give basic information. Bad customer service.

Patrice Hall

This place has wonderful exhibits and knowledgeable staff.

Sara Mora

Precious little pearl. A really nice museum illustrating the history of South Texas, providing useful description and explanation of the southernmost tip of the United States. Must visit to learn not only the history of South Texas but also about US-Mexican relationship.

Ángel Nunez

AAA

Florangel Santos

This museum is s amazing! It's a shame they don't advertise it. My son who is 4 really enjoyed it, we had a fun time exploring, playing and learning! Not to mention we went through the museum three times and he was sad to leave because it was close to closing time. For sure we will visit it again!

Rhonda Camp

Such a great place, the displays were in Spanish and English

Gavin68

william heinrich

Had a really great time here. Shame I hadn't been here sooner. Old Jailhouse is undergoing some renovations, so it's closed for a while.

The best in the valley

Glenn Yri

My experience at MOSTHistory started off on a needlessly bad note which tarnished my enjoyment of the museum. The exhibit halls were very well put together and engaging. One section was under construction which was disappointing but understandable. Unfortunately as we were checking in and buying our tickets, one of the welcome center staff very rudely told me to spit out my gum as per policy. The interaction was more of a parent chastising a child than a staff member directing a grown man. I would have asked for a refund and left had I not been with out of town visitors. Extremely disappointing to be treated as such.

Ike Harris

Great displays of everything from prehistoric to modern day Texas!

Charlie Boyd

Nice museum!

Leonardo Gomez

Everything you would expect from a museum and so much more. The cleanliness of the building and attentiveness of the staff contributed to an enjoyable experience. I came over for a food and beer tasting, and I was extremely entertained with the quality of craft services. I recommend to all of my friends and family to give the MOSTH happy hour a try!

John McCain

Super cool little museum. We went during their annual pioneer days celebration. It is a great time for all ages. So much fun, and a great learning experience also. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Joseph Mathews

Great museum dealing with South Texas history.

Linaka Greensword

An interesting look into history along the American border. Complete with bilingual descriptions and facts, so I got to learn a bit more Spanish whilst I was there. Not too expensive either. Took about 2 hours to go around the museum.

She Rocker

Such a cute museum. Love learning about the local history of the valley. They have cool events monthly you should check out.

Leslye King

Just great place to see. Very informative

Ronsy Townsy

Ranchero Days.

Tee Jay

Wow! What a great place. I love it. No visit to RGV would be complete, with out a trip to this museum. I want to return and spend more time. If you care about history in the least degree, you will not leave disappointed.

Karen Morter

Very well documented information.

Valydia Castillo

Great place of fun for family and learning history

Jose Flores

This is a very space place lots of fun for the whole family and is at a good rate with not a lot of people so everyone can be done in one day, best attractions have more workers by it allowing for a good learning environment,the city needs to do a better job of telling the community to go

Victor J

Its a awsome place to learn history

Wichita Castlepine

Neat!

Soledad Schuller

Go. Just go.

Alex Garrido

Beautiful architecture and great experience if you want to get in touch with the origins of the Rio Grande Valley. Probably the largest and most sophisticated museum in South Texas, it houses an impressive collection of artifacts that in capsulate the essence of the RGV. A good experience overall, i just wish the museum had even more room to grow and expand its magnificent collection.

Paloma Hernandez Montoya

Absolutely awesome place to visit. It's been years since we've been here and don't know why we waited so long. Tons of historical information and displays. My husband and I are both old enough to remember a lot of the events that took place over the years. We brought our granddaughter today and she really enjoyed it. Staff are very very friendly and helpful.

Sofia Diaz

(Translated by Google) I am just going to know the place of the museum but the opinions I see that people liked the place and I think that I also like the History of America (Original) Apenas voy a conocer el lugar del museo pero x las opiniones veo que la gente les gustó el lugar y creo que a mi tambien x que me gusta la Historia de América

This was an amazing historical museum. I was totally taken by surprise at this impressive museum including their mammoth skeleton. Must see.

Raul Murillo

I'm always amazed at the amount of history the Rio grande valley has to offer, u even saw my grandmother's ancestors on one of the papers signed.

Steve Swanson

Great museum for understanding South Texas prehistory and history!

Sick Of It All

This museum is small, but it makes up for its vast historic themes. The south texas history is well described with a lot of artifacts or historic display. I went on a Saturday afternoon, and there very few people. So parking is very easy, and I paid 6 dollars for entrance; though with my university ID. Restrooms are very clean. This museum is a must for valley natives, or for people visiting the rio grande valley. By far, this museum is a gem of museums in the rio grande valley.

Melody Spencer

Such a beautiful local museum. We went primarily to see a traveling pictorial display, but the art galleries and gift shop drew us in. A map provides easy access to favorite displays and the people who work here are friendly and knowledgeable! A great way to spend an afternoon!

Ismael

Great museum. Walk through the different eras of RGV history. The building is also historic, part of the building was an old jail where hangings of criminals occurred. learn about dinosaurs, native tribes, and cowboys that have lived in South Texas.

Kim Bagwell

It was a little smaller than we thought but very educational. The second floor was a bit disconnected from the texas history area but cool too.

Teresa Roddick

Very interesting place to visit while in Edinburg.

Minerva Robles

The amount of local history is overwhelming. We had a great time our tour was fantastic. Would highly recommend
