El Paso Museum of History takes a look back at our past and our Mexican American heritage. The El Paso Museum of History was established and donated by Fred Hervey in July 4, 1974. The land was donated by Jack A. Cardwell, G.R.Russell, and Chas Gaither. The El Paso area can be traced over four centuries of recorded history, starting with the first Spanish explorers in 1851. Hispanics and Native Americans have a past as being missionaries and merchants, soldiers and settlers, gunfighters, refugees, and revolutionaries.
