Spotlighting Our Collections!

This souvenir saucer commemorates Hotel Mission, which first opened in 1909. After the original building was completely destroyed by fire in November 1918, a new two-story brick hotel was constructed in its place. The rebuilt hotel featured a Spanish-inspired design, electric lighting, hot-air heating, and a central courtyard.

It's Game Day for the Rattlers!

Today, we're sharing a photo of Sharyland baseball player Eramos Flores. He is pictured on the left in the early 1920s. At that time, baseball was beginning to surge in popularity across the Rio Grande Valley, establishing a tradition that has endured for more than a century.

The Mission Historical Museum sends our best wishes to the Sharyland players, coaches, and fans. Go out there and make history!

We're excited to announce that our Summer Craft Day on Wednesday, June 10, will feature a "Historically Heroic" craft inspired by Ham the Astrochimp, Sergeant Stubby, and Vittles the Boxer! These animals played major roles in American aviation and military history, and you can learn about their stories while creating a fun craft.

We hope you'll join us and the Sharyland High School Student Council for a day of creativity and history!
