About the Museum
...preserving and presenting the borderland heritage of South Texas and Northeastern Mexico
Prehistoric plants and animal fossils, native people and European colonization exhibits, and a steamboat replica are but a few of the fascinating displays to see at the Museum of South Texas History. For almost 40 years the Museum has chronicled the heritage of South Texas and Northeastern Mexico, preserving its rich history.
The Museum has been a part of the community since 1967. It first opened its doors as the Hidalgo County Historical Museum in the old Hidalgo County jail. Built in 1910, the Old Jail continues to be one the most important sections of the museum.
In 2003 the Museum completed a $5.5 million expansion, including a 22,500 square foot wing that includes the Museum Store, Grand Lobby, and permanent exhibits. At the time of this expansion, the Museum changed to its present name to reflect its mission to represent the history of the entire region.

2016 Lone Star Land Steward: San Pedro Ranch - Texas Parks and Wildlife [Official]
South Texas: San Pedro Ranch
Dimmit and Maverick Counties, Texas
Fitzsimons and Howard Families, Owners
Chase Currie, Manager
Joseph Fitzsimons and his sister, Pamela Fitzsimons Howard, have owned the San Pedro Ranch in South Texas for 15 years, though the land has been in the family since 1932. The property, which sprawls across parts of Dimmit and Maverick counties, supports five different soil orders and 36 different plant communities and has been home to four distinct cultural groups over the years. Fitzsimons and Howard have implemented several wildlife habitat management techniques, including rotational grazing, prescribed burning, brush control, water systems, riparian restoration projects and aerial censuses of deer and quail populations. These practices have improved the native habitat, which has helped sustain diverse wildlife populations and a productive Beefmaster cattle herd.
The ranch is also home to a unique type of soil, called Antosa Bobillo, which is a deep, fine sand that supports grasses that are typically rare in South Texas. Fitzsimons and Howard have used geographic information system technology to map out this soil type’s presence on the property, designating the areas in which it exists “no-disturbance zones” to help preserve this unique plant community.
