MuseumThe museum was established by a 1979 vote of the Fraternal Order of Retired Border Patrol Officers. The State of Texas issued its incorporation certificate in 1980 as a 501(c) 3 tax-exempt organization. Its first location from 1985–1992 was the Cortez Building in El Paso. From 1992–1994, museum artifacts were in storage awaiting construction of a new building. The current {{convert|10000|sqft|m2|lk=in|sigfig=2}} space opened its doors in 1994, and is located on {{convert|2|acre|ha sqmi|lk=on}} of land northeast of El Paso.[1] This is the only museum solely honoring the Border Patrol, and artifacts cover the agency's entire history.[2] Among the exhibits are weapons and vehicles used, including helicopters. There is a border patrol dog exhibit, an art exhibit and an exhibit of officer badges.[3] Depicted are various methods used by individuals to cross the border between Mexico and the United States.[4] Membership fees, private and corporation donations, and the purchase of memorial bricks help fund the museum.[5] Hours, admissionNo admission fee.
