What visitors say
Best museum we have been to. The curator, Mr. Aguirre, gave us a personal tour. We were amazed on how much history Eagle Pass has. Mr. Aguiller was very knowledgeable and made the experience an amazing one! 5 stars!!!!!
Nice place to relax at park. Did not know it was opened, but will visit again. Just watching old wagons and canon outside was impressive.
The museum wasn't even open when I got there but a very nice gentleman allowed me to walk around anyway. Great artifacts, newspaper clippings, photos. Well worth stopping by!
