The El Paso Museum of History is home to the only interactive digital wall of its kind in the United States and one of four in the world!
The title Mountain of Gold refers to how many families described the United States as the “mountain of gold” and Mexico as the “mountain of silver” as they journeyed to the border in pursuit of prosperity.
Mountain of Gold challenges narratives of an Asian monolith and dives into each group’s distinct traditions, highlighting different family stories, neighborhoods, businesses, and community institutions as well as cultural exchanges along the border.
Explore more than 1,000 years of our regional history in the heart of El Paso’s Downtown Arts District.
The Museum’s collection of more than 10,000 artifacts, documents, images, and personal stories chronicles the growth of El Paso- one of largest border metroplexes in the world.
