    Very nice staff and knowledgeable - small building full of local history. Part of the fun was walking here from my hotel as it is right in downtown and next to local businesses with flair of the area.  more »

    This is a wonderful place to take visitors. It has everything that you need to know about how McAllen came to be. It is a wonderful historical dedication to those that built this town. I took my kids and visiting family and have been several times. It is free, but they do encourage a donation for your visit to help pay the light bill!!
