Republic of the Rio Grande Museum

• Image Source: http://www.webbheritage.org/riograndehistory.htm

Republic of the Rio Grande Capitol Building Museum, situated in the downtown San Agustin Historical District in Laredo, Texas, was once the Republic of the Rio Grande Capitol building. At present, the Museum exhibits memorabilia from the short-lived, unsuccessful Republic of the Rio Grande. It holds a huge collection of books, pictures, and furniture from the 19th century Laredo. It also displays saddles, guns, and house hold goods of frontier homes. Most of the Museum’s exhibitions place special emphasis on the period of Rio Grande Republic, 1839-1841.

Besides, the Museum also offers guided tours for adults and school age children throughout the year. It also hosts presentations made to schools, civic groups, detention facilities, and travel writers on a regular basis. Located just next to the La Posada Hotel in San Agustin Plaza, the Republic of the Rio Grande Museum can be reached easily. This museum is a great learning experience and is well worth visiting.
