The El Paso Museum of History invites you to explore over 16,000 square feet of exhibition space, showcasing the rich history shared by the U.S. and Mexico. With five captivating galleries, it takes you on a journey through 400 years of border history. On the first floor, you'll find two galleries that have previously hosted fascinating traveling exhibitions. Imagine getting lost in the genius of Leonardo da Vinci or stepping back in time to the era of early Spanish exploration, even before the Mayflower made its historic journey. The museum also delves into the exciting world of borderland racing history, a thrilling aspect of the region's past.

A visit here isn't just about looking at exhibits; it's an interactive experience. The museum often hosts workshops and events that allow you to engage with history in a hands-on way. Plus, the digital wall is something you shouldn't miss. It's one of the only touch-sensitive digital walls in the U.S., giving you a chance to explore vast collections of images and stories right at your fingertips. This place is perfect for history buffs and casual visitors alike, offering a unique glimpse into the vibrant tapestry of borderland culture.
