Casa de los Frijoles Pintos Museum

Also known as Casa de los Tejanos, or Texans’ house. Step inside this museum and discover the story behind it.

This museum earned the names Casa de los Frijoles Pintos (Bean House) or Casa de los Tejanos (Texans’ House) because in 1842, the regional commander refused to shoot all the prisoners from the war with Texas. Instead, he imprisoned them in this house and shot one out of every ten, and their lots were decided by drawing beans.
