This was a small museum. I paid $3. Cheap! I walked around the museum. I learned the history of the Laredo area. This is a small museum. You need an hour. I walked around the area which is one of the historical areas in Laredo. I felt history. There was no bathroom. But a lady at the museum let me use the bathroom at La Posada Hotel. Gracious!
