The Edinburg Museum (Actually Called The Museum of South Texas History) is a known building just north of the court house in Edinburg.

Growing up, the school would take us on yearly field trips to the museum - and I remember it as being as interesting as watching paint dry, and as modern as cranking your car to go to work.

But I took advantage of the free admission on Sunday's before 12 noon, to see what was there.  I was amazed to see that they had remodeled the place, brought in new, but still historic, material, and was much larger than what I remember it.

Two things caught my attention though.  One - no flash cameras or tripod are allowed.  Flash I can understand... but tripods??????  I was asked 4 times during my visit to please stop using flash (when my flash was off) and was asking why I was taking pictures...

The second thing that caught my attention is the huge... and I mean HUGE mammoth skeleton they have upstairs.  Truly awesome.

As always, pics from the event. Tony Vargas
