Alice (pop. 21,000) is located west of Corpus Christi. The town is centrally located between San Antonio, Corpus Christi and the Lower Rio Grande valley and is commonly known as the "Hub City of South Texas".
The South Texas Museum traces the history of the south Texas region from the American Indian to the 20th century. The collection is varied and features some unique items, including a typewriter with two sets of keys (one for lower case and one for upper case).
The museum is housed in the unique McGill Brothers Building. After visiting the Alamo in 1940, the brothers returned to Alice, and built an office building in the same design.
The 3rd Coast Squadron Museum in Alice, Texas is the ideal destination for South Texas military heritage only. Visitos can view artifacts, and memorabilia, as well as hear and see stories from South Texas veterans that have served or are currently serving in our military. Vintage war birds are on display in the adjoining hangar to the museum and are available for viewing also.
