The museum opened in 1970 with a new wing opening by 1977. Over the years, the jail has remained a significant part of the museum. It still houses exhibits and the hanging room which is one of the most popular attractions. The jail, and the museum, have gone through several repairs and renovations over the years, but has retained much of its look from the former years. The Jail’s best-known feature, the gallows trapdoor, remains securely in place, as if awaiting its next grim use. The 1910 Jail: An Arresting Artifact and Its Story is a permanent exhibit. Now, for almost 40 years, MOSTH has chronicled the heritage of South Texas and Northeastern Mexico, preserving its rich history. The museum has been an integral part of the community since 1967. Today, you will find a beautiful grand lobby and their premier exhibition, Rio Grande Legacy that shows unique artifacts and state-ofthe-art multimedia. Visitors will encounter prehistoric fossils, ancient tools, Spanish colonial treasure, battlefield relics, and artifacts from the region’s heydays as a steamboat route and, later, a cattle kingdom. Sounds and music from the region create an immersive experience as you walk through the replica bow of a steamboat and enjoy a film in the theater located inside. These are just a couple of the exhibits you can find in the museum. They have rotating exhibits, seasonal events, and speaker series. There is also the Will Looney Legacy Park outside that features a windmill and tank, a water pump, a bronze sculpture, and a winding path studded with native animal tracks, along with numerous native plants. This is a museum that you can enjoy the outdoors, just as much as you can the exhibits inside.
