Reviews
"What a wonderful place to visit to learn about the history of Donna, TX, the heart of the Valley! My mother in law contributed the colorful paintings. So much to read and look at.....highly recommend!"
"Have to give this place 5 stars because of the passion of the lady who runs it. Obviously she has put in a lot of time and work to get the place to where it is today. Yes it's small, but the displays are nice and she will verbally fill in any gaps as well as answer any questions - VERY friendly! Thank you for your effort in keeping local history alive. Love the historic building it's located in also."
"Free admission, very friendly, and learned a bit about Donna history"
"A nice small town museum. I was amazed at the paper dress!"
"Great pictures from the past, the pictures go back to the 1830's, with many pictures from Donna families."
