– Big Bend Historical MuseumNow
known as Museum of the Big Bend, the museum is located on a hillside and
constructed of native stone and located on the campus of Sul Ross State University.
The main floor contains the central exhibit hall of pioneer and other historical
materials, plus an exhibit of fossils, flora, and fauna of West
Texas, and a hall devoted to Indian relics. The construction of the museum
was made possible by Centennial Commission funds, a Works Progress Administration
project, and the contribution by the Sul Ross State Teachers College. The museum
is located on Avenue B and North Harrison in Alpine.
