The Centennial Museum

 

The Centennial Museum, El Paso's first established museum, opened in April 1937, through funds allocated to the city by the Texas State Centennial Commission. Because the city of El Paso could not guarantee that it could always maintain such a museum, the College of Mines (now UTEP) accepted the deed of trust.
