I visited this museum for an hour during my few days in El Paso the museum is well presented and well kept and free of charge the only thing is you should visit Mon-Fri as this is when the guides are there if you go on the weekend you can do a D.I.Y tour

The museum is on the transmountain pass (through the Franklin Mountains) and is located on the east side of the pass, it is next to the El Paso Museum of Archaeology, so you can park at one museum and walk to the order via a path through the desert garden.The museum has a couple of rooms, including memorabilia and vehicles used for border patrol. As well as some information regarding different border policies and missions over the years.Additionally, there is a side room dedicated to those who have lost their lives while protecting our borders.Admissions is free, but donations are accepted. There is a small gift shop for border patrol related memorabilia.

Definitely worth visiting. Had a lot of history of border patrol. Loved looking at the different exhibits. The memorials for those agents who lost their lives gurading our borders is very touching. I enjoyed all of the things there. It was free too. Thanks to all those who are or have been involved in keeping this museum. Fantastic!!!!

Just visited the museum. Not my first visit. Been there many times. They are making improvements to the infrastructure and "flow of show," and I am more impressed than ever. Great gift shop -- I spent a couple hundred dollars there, on very unique souvenirs, kids' toys, attire. This place is hallowed ground, as far as I'm concerned, and one cannot view the Hall of Heroes (those who've paid the ultimate sacrifice) without shedding a tear. I highly recommend a visit!

Lots of guns and smuggler vehicles as well as patrol cars and boats. The story is mostly in showcases with photographs and descriptions as well as news papers of the eras.

We had some extra time so we stopped by for a quick visit. The museum gave us some interesting stories and history of the Border Patrol. How and why they were formed plus some early pictures showing equipment and areas of law they tried to uphold.

The museum is not very big, but it still has some nice displays. I watched the short video of Border Patrol history. There are displays of vehicles, uniforms, and equipment used. There is also a nice memorial hall of Agents who lost their lives defending out borders. Worth a visit.

Informative, touching and very interesting! The dogs and KIA agents are treated with touching respect. They also deal with the illegals in a courteous respectful manner.

You will see all types of transportation they use (Border Patrol) and history. Also you can buy things like suveniers, t-shirts, etc.

Museum is open Monday to Saturday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, closed Sunday. Well worth the stop to learn about the Border Patrol since this is the only museum in the United States everyone should view. It is a small place, 1 ½ hour will cover the entire display. Explains the early years and a memorial to all agents that have died in the line of duty. Very interesting on how they have grown over the years. I would recommend to anyone that is passing in the El Paso area. Cost of free and has plenty of parking. Staff very informative and friendly. Donation are used to support the museum since this is not a government museum.
