The Republic of the Rio Grande Museum is dedicated to the year 1840, when Laredo was the capital city of the short-lived Republic of the Rio Grande. An unrecognized state that declared independence from Mexico in January of that year, the republic was quickly reintegrated into Mexico. The museum is the nation's former capital building and features preserved rooms and historic displays, plus a small gift shop.
Republic of the Rio Grande Museum is a historic house museum located in the downtown San Agustin de Laredo Historic District in Laredo, Texas, United States, next to the historic La Posada Hotel and San Agustín Cathedral. The Mexican vernacular structure was built in 1830 as a house with an addition in 1860. Among the people who have lived there was prominent rancher Bartolomé García, who was also one of Laredo's mayors, and who is a descendant of the town founder, Tomas Sanchez.

Most games are played in Parque la Junta, a beautiful modern minor league park in the center of Nuevo Laredo, with some (mostly later season) games played in Laredo, Texas at Uni-Trade Stadium. It's a chance for Texans to experience Mexican League Baseball without having to endure customs and immigration lines.
