Whitehead Memorial Museum offers free admission for Del Rio families
Whitehead Memorial Museum opened its July Saturdays free to Del Rio residents, with photo ID required and regular admission normally up to $8.
Whitehead Memorial Museum opened its July Saturdays free to Del Rio residents at 1308 South Main Street, with a valid photo ID showing a Del Rio address required at the door. The museum set the hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on July 11, 18 and 25, giving local families a no-cost way to spend a summer day in the heart of Del Rio.
The promotion mattered because the museum normally charges admission for most visitors. WhichMuseum lists regular prices at free for ages 0-5, $5 for ages 6-17, $8 for ages 18-55 and $6 for ages 50+, making the Saturday offer especially valuable for households trying to keep summer outings affordable. The free days also fit a family schedule, with a full eight hours to visit exhibits, walk through the grounds and make a stop that does not require leaving town.
Whitehead Memorial Museum also positioned the free-admission day as more than a tourist stop. The museum’s website includes sections for exhibits, learning, children’s activities, sleepovers, events and planning a visit, pointing to an operation built around regular public programming as well as display space. Texas Time Travel identifies the museum as a Texas Historical Commission-related destination, which adds preservation context to its role in Val Verde County’s local history.
For Del Rio residents who wanted details before heading over, the museum lists (830) 774-7568 as its public phone number. The sponsorship page lists info@whiteheadmuseum.org, and the museum site header includes michael.diaz@whiteheadmuseum.org. With its address on South Main, its July schedule and its resident-only free admission policy, the museum offered a straightforward summer option for families looking for something local, low-cost and rooted in the community.
