The Port Isabel Historical Museum

Frommer's Review

This restored 1899 Victorian commercial building houses a delightful small town museum dedicated to describing the history of the area from the time it was a supply depot during the Mexican-American War, through the Civil War and the area's development as a shrimping and fishing capital to today's recreation industry. There are interactive exhibits, a large display of Mexican-American War artifacts, and a 1906 Victor Morales "Fish Mural," plus a theater and gift shop. Also on the grounds is a water well dating from the Mexican-American War when Zachary Taylor's troops were quartered here.
