We hope you've had a "beary" Merry Christmas and are sending our best wishes for a happy New Year! Since we sent our first newsletter your way we've been up to quite a bit!

The Red River Valley Museum has recently received a large grant from an anonymous donor! This grant is intended to be used to upgrade our current office tech as well as give us new tools to make the museum function smoother than ever before.

The William A. Bond Trophy & Game Room is very near completion! We’re excited to share the finished product with you as soon as we can.

The Red River Valley Museum is a non-profit organization. We are funded primarily through admission fees and donations. In 2017 we established the Friends of the Museum to help us gain more funding and to create new ways for community members to be involved.

Can’t make it out to the museum right now? We’ve got your back! We’ve curated a list of museum inspired games, lessons, and videos just for you and your children! Dinosaurs, dress up games, drawing and more- there’s something for everyone!

This summer, Humanities Texas awarded over $1.1 million to 198 Texas nonprofits that suffered losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recipients include museums, libraries, preservation organizations and heritage and cultural centers, among many others.

We are excited to announce the award winning works of art for this years juried art show! A sincere congratulations and thank you to all who participated.
