Staff Report

Edinburg TX – The Museum of South Texas History announced that the Freddy Gonzalez exhibit will enter its next phase after Aug. 2 as part of a preservation and redesign process tied to the beginning of construction on a new gallery space.

Visitors have until Aug. 2 to experience the current exhibit, which includes artifacts connected to Freddy Gonzalez’s life and service, including his Medal of Honor, uniform, and personal letters.

While physical artifacts are being preserved and prepared, visitors can continue exploring Freddy Gonzalez’s story through MOSTHistory’s Digital Collections, including photographs, letters, and other materials from the Sergeant Alfredo Gonzalez collection.

This next phase will allow museum staff to safely preserve and prepare the collection as construction begins on a reimagined gallery space designed to elevate Freddy’s story and help future visitors better understand its importance. 

The exhibit is expected to return as part of a reimagined gallery space in early 2027. MOSTHistory is located at 200 N. Closner Blvd. in Edinburg. For more information, visit MOSTHistory.org or call (956) 383-6911.
