El Paso Museum of History

Solid museum for what's history, behavior, and culture if El Pasana from yesterday to today.We were in the area for Día de los Muertos festival, and the MofH was doing its part. It had plenty of events going on from music, interactive story telling, hands on activities, to spiritual cleansings, or limpias.One of the cooler temporary exhibits Musica sin Fronteras. The exhibits showcases the groups, genres, bands, studios and venues that have called the borderland their home, and the impact they had on the El Paso and if their day. It was pretty cool to see items from the past and reflect on the impact they had on me. Who would have imagine bed that the contributions they had on the Frontera, and the Frontera had on them were so plentiful.The kids found plenty to do and see as much of the museum is interactive.If the rotation of exhibits is regular, then so shall our visits to the museum.

This is a must see if you are in El Paso and have time. This museum is free but also accepts donations. They are very inclusive and you get to learn so much about Texas and Mexico and the history of the native Americans and how it shaped that part of the country. It is a very very informative and interesting stop. Definitely recommend.

For a small town, with rich history, this museum is highly recommended. There are several exhibits on both the first and second floors that span the full history of El Paso, neighboring Mexico, African Americans in El Paso, high fashion and local High Schools. My daughter (5th grade) and I spent about an hour and a half here, leisurely taking in each installation.

A wonderful museum to spend time in and to get to the know the city of El Paso. Lots of unique pieces and installations. The city is so rich in history and culture. If you're in town make sure to put this on your list. And I love how it's next door to the art museum so you can really make a day of it.

This place was amazing! I really enjoyed my visit. I did a search for things to do in El Paso and the museum of history was listed. The museum gives a great overview of the early times, developments, people who lived there and made an impact. I was really impressed with the "Still We Rise" section. Full of great information of the first African Americans that lived there (enslaved & free), the history and culture. There was a section of Fort Bliss (my friend was stationed there when he was in the military).

There is a lot to see in this museum. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of other musuems I have been to but this one covers a lot on the history of El Paso.From the baseball facts as well as the histroy of the star on the Franklin mountains, there is so many things to know about the history of El Paso. Signs are next to most of the historical artifacts so you can read up on the significance of the item.Take your time and check out the contents of the museum and then walk to N. Oregon street whichnis a block away or the surrounding areas for lunch or dinner. There are two floors in the museum and you can take the elevator or stairs. No eating or drinking is allowed. Also there is no entrance fee to but donations are accepted.

Very nice donation based historical museum, full of history about El Paso. Clean bathrooms and air conditioning

While visiting El Paso last week, my husband and I visited a few of the downtown museums, including the El Paso Museum of History. The museum is definitely small, but I liked the small exhibit on El Paso history. (The museum also had exhibits on pottery and the economy that were much less interesting.) But the museum is free - so it's definitely worth a walk in to see the permanent exhibit on El Paso history and whatever temporary exhibits are at the museum at the time.

Worth your time!If you are visiting El Paso go check out this free museum that has some great history about El Paso. Outside there is a huge touch screen called a digie wall where you can take a picture and send anyone an electronic postcard. What is cool is exploring all the pictures people have downloaded into the digie wall and all the articles and places you can learn about throughout the city.If you live in El Paso check out their upcoming events, changing exhibits, and some really cool instagram worthy pics.Just recently went for free yoga. It was a lot of fun and a great reason to get there early and check out the exhibits.A modern new facility very clean. Street parking with meters is available near by.El Paso has a rich history and I can't wait for the upcoming exhibits and to learn more about our wonderful city

I loved this museum. It didn't have a huge amount of artefacts but what it did have was quite special. It joined up a lot of metaphorical dots for me. The staff very helpful especially the security guard on the day. I also enjoyed the artwor.
