Visitors can walk through the first hospital in the city (complete with vintage medical tools and supplies), the Paso Real Stagecoach Inn (built during the Civil War), and the home of city founder Lon C. Hill. There are tons of photos and other artifacts from Harlingen's past.
The Rio Grande Valley Museum is open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; and on Sunday, 1-4 p.m. There is an admission fee.
