About Museum of South Texas History The Museum of South Texas History is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. It is in downtown Edinburg at 200 North Closner Boulevard on the Hidalgo County Courthouse square. Founded in 1967 as the Hidalgo County Historical Museum in the 1910 Hidalgo County Jail, the museum has grown over the decades through a series of expansions to occupy a full city block. In 2003, following the completion of a 22,500 square foot expansion, the museum was renamed the Museum of South Texas History to better reflect its regional scope. Today, the museum preserves and presents the borderland heritage of South Texas and northeastern Mexico through its permanent collection and the Margaret H. McAllen Memorial Archives and exhibits spanning prehistory through the 20th century.

RANCH From pg. 21 m e y h e e l incredible venue, for a reasonable price. “It just fills my heart with joy when I go out into the audience to check with my friends to make sure they are enjoying the concert,” said Boyd. Originally starting out on the trombone when she was 10, Boyd moved to the tuba at 12 and has been playing it ever since – for 60 years! Her reasoning for being part of the ensemble is all about spreading joy. That she gets to bring joy to those in attendance and gets the chance to share it with her friends, too. It also helps that her tuba mates are a great group of guys, and they share the same joy of music and life. “This makes performing super special,” she said. “Great people, great music, and great times – who could ask for more. LIFE IS GOOD!” And what makes coming to the Valley great – she said, “It’s warm.” And there is so much to see and do. Also, the people are so friendly and polite. She now considers it to be her home since she spends the majority of her time in the Valley. “It’s just a great place to be.” This concert features a few promotions including buy one get one free for military veterans. Tickets start at $10, including fees, and can be purchased in-person at the McAllen Performing Arts Center Box Office or by calling 1-800-745-3000, or at www.ticketmaster.com (additional fees may apply). Reserved seating is available. Season tickets are available as well and offer reserved seating. The anniversary concert season will conclude with a special birthday celebration concert on Sunday, April 7 at 3 p.m. As a nonprofit organization sustained by the community’s support, the organization also seeks to partner with local businesses who wish to advertise or sponsor programs.
