History
In 1974, the museum began as a Cavalry Museum.
 It primarily featured information about "the mounted history of the West" at the time.
 The name was changed to the El Paso Museum of History in 1980.
 The museum was overseen by the director of the El Paso Museum of Art until the El Paso Museum of History hired its own director in December 1990.
Because the museum's building was deemed inadequate and in an inconvenient location, it was included in a bond issue to fund the construction of a new museum in 2000.
The new downtown building opened on June 16, 2007.
 In its first year in its new location, the museum received over 30,000 visitors.
The museum is credited with helping to "revitalise downtown El Paso."


Digital Display
Visitors experimenting with the Digital Wall (Digie).
On February 14, 2015, the large touchscreen digital wall known as "Digie" debuted.
 It is the world's second digital wall and the first in the United States.
 The wall is made up of "five massive touch screens" and provides an interactive, three-dimensional view of El Paso's history dating back to the late 1600s.
 Each touch-screen is a 95-inch LED, and the digital content is networked to other cities' digital walls.
 The wall is forty feet long and six feet tall. A smaller companion wall is also mobile and can visit schools, malls, and community centers. Digie enables visitors to interact with the wall by searching for specific words.
