We stopped here for a pleasant and interesting hour on the campus of Sul Ross University. Very interesting local history of the area. Worth your time to visit.

Our family was very impressed with this museum. We had no idea how much history there was in the Big Bend area. We enjoyed seeing the life-like displays; made you feel llike you were in the time period being portrayed. And we loved the art work in the back room. Great for kids and adults.

This informative little museum is attached to and overseen by Sul Ross State University. It's free and has some interactive exhibits, as well as a Western Art installation where the pieces are for sale. An enjoyable stop.

This museum is just right...not too big, not too small. It's a very well organized travel through time giving you a good understanding of how the area developed. And it's free!

Went for the Trappings of Texas show at the museum -- loved everything about it! Beautiful building and lovely staff.
