The Frio Pioneer Jail Museum, located in Pearsall, Texas, is housed in the historic county jail built in 1884, which served its purpose until the 1960s. This two-story rock building showcases a variety of artifacts and historic photos that provide insight into the daily life and challenges of the era, including relics from social events and tools used during tough times.

Visitors can explore the original jail cells, including those specifically designated for female or juvenile prisoners added in 1885, and learn about the museum's role in local history, such as the storage of confiscated bootleg liquor during Prohibition. Recognized as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark since 1970, the Frio Pioneer Jail Museum is the oldest building in Pearsall and serves as a testament to the region's past.

Alamo Liaison Squadron

As a flying museum, Cannon Field serves many stimulating purposes. First, we tell the history of WWII Liaison Aircraft, also known as L-birds. These ingenious aircraft provided vital functions such as observation, spotting, artillery fire and forward air control, communications, medical evacuation and more. We give our visitors a chance to experience first-hand what it was like to operate them.
