Museum of South Texas History

We went to the museum with Linda and Jerry, which is in a nearby town of Edinburg. This is a nicely laid out museum, unfortunately 2 of the 3 videos were not working and one of them had the history of the Rio Grande river. The history starts from the dinosaurs, to natives, through the war years and up to modern times.
