Republic of Rio Grande Building in Laredo

Republic Of The Rio Grande Museum

Learn about the time when Laredo was its own country. Seven flags have flown over the quaint, one-story building. Whitewashed plaster covers two-feet-thick walls of rock and adobe. Now a museum, the building served as the capitol of the unsuccessful Republic of the Rio Grande. Displays guns, saddles and goods of frontier homes with an emphasis on the period of the Rio Grande Republic: 1839–41. Open 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Tue.–Sat. Admission charge. 1005 Zaragoza St., just south of San Agustin Plaza. 956/727-3480. www.webbheritage.org/index_files/21RRG.htm.
