EDINBURG, Texas — The Museum of South Texas History presents the spotlight exhibit titled “Otis Bell’s Edinburg,” in observance of Black History Month, from Feb. 1 to Feb. 27.
In the late 1990s, Bell’s granddaughter LaTanya Bell was tasked to interview Otis Bell for a college class assignment. The oral history includes historical information about the city of Edinburg between the 1930s and early 2000s, and its local families, businesses and school system.
The spotlight exhibit will feature the full oral history, photos of Otis Bell and a variety of photographs of historic Edinburg locations. Visitors can view the exhibit in the Annex Hallway at MOSTHistory as it is included in the regular museum admission fee.
Museum hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more information about the exhibit, please contact Collections and Exhibits Coordinator Melissa Peña at 956-383-6911 or mjpena@mosthistory.org.
