Small but interesting. I did not know the history of the Republic of Rio Grande. We had a great conversation with the guy in the front and he was very helpful in explaining the history.
Small museum will take about 20 minutes to see. It's $3, which is not bad. I have to say that I had never heard of the Republic of the Rio Grande. It is surprising this topic is not covered at all in school--even as a passing note. It's a simple museum, but I was enamored by the history.
Very cute and interesting museum! Cost was $3, with very nice staff and a good selection of gifts for purchase
Such amazing history and displays. Wife and I really enjoyed it. It is small but the content inside makes up for it!
The best little must see of early TEXAS history. Confederate history and Laredo TX history. Great building I hope they restore the roof on soon. Cost 2 bucks but worth more. I liked everything about it and will return some day.

Visited Laredo this weekend and was looking for cultural places to explore. I was somewhat disappointed in the contents of this musuem but for only a $2 donation, I really didn't feel cheated. It's an actual home from like the 1800's or something. The receptionist was very polite and I purchased post cards to support. It only has 3 rooms but learned new information about the city of Laredo.
