It originally opened in 1967 in the old Hidalgo County Jail (built in 1910) which is now part of the Museum.

| Only one hanging ever took place here. |
In 2003 the Museum completed a $5.5 million expansion that added 22,500 square feet. This added the permanent exhibit the 'Rio Grande Legacy'. A self guided tour, it takes you on a journey through the pre-history and history of the region.
