Sul Ross State Univ. Museum of the Big Bend

For more than 70 years, this museum has been collecting and exhibiting artifacts of the Big Bend region. Here, people have traveled and lived for more than 11,000 years. Throughout that time, four distinct cultures emerged and shaped the history and heritage of the region. The exhibits capture this history and the contributions of the Native Americans, Spanish, Mexicans and Anglo-Americans. The museum is accessible to the disabled. Gift shop. Open Tue.–Sat. 9 a.m.–5 p.m.; Sun. 1–5 p.m. Free admission; donations accepted. 432/837-8730. ejackson@sulross.edu. www.sulross.edu/~museum
