30 min away on the east side of 375, The museum was founded by Border Patrol retirees and runs without government help. Its exhibits feel homemade -- lots of press-on letters, thumb tacks, and yellowing scotch tape -- but full of information and glimpses of border patrol life. The message conveyed is that the Border Patrol catches dangerous criminals and saves people who might otherwise have died trying to get into the United States.

Don't be fooled by appearances; this unassuming museum outside El Paso offers a fascinating look at the history of the US Border Patrol. Highlights include a large collection of patrol vehicles, from rudimentary boats, motorcycles, and jeeps to sophisticated helicopters and other aircraft (static displays include an OH-6 helicopter, a Piper Super Cub airplane, and a Conquistador speedboat). Also of interest are exhibits of weapons, uniforms, badges, photos, and artwork. Another attraction worth visiting is Chamizal National Memorial, a 55-acre site celebrating the settlement of disputes between Mexico and the US.
