National Border Patrol Museum

2018 West, Road Trip, Texas

At the suggestion of Beth and Paul, from their house we took I-10 to TX-375/Woodrow Bean Transmountain Highway and stopped for a visit at the National Border Patrol Museum in El Paso, Texas. It’s a non-profit museum founded by retired border patrol agents that does a great job of telling the history of the Border Patrol from it’s beginning in 1924 when the first agents received a badge and a revolver and recruits provided their own horse and saddle to the high tech equipment utilized today to protect our borders.

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
