Established in the aftermath of the Mexican War and abandoned after World War II, Fort McIntosh served as a strategic guard for the Texas frontier. The fort is preserved as part of the Laredo Community College campus although the Laredo United States Army Reserve 340th Quarter Master Company continues to occupy the fort. It's definitely a sight to see for military history buffs.

Once the home of two Laredo merchant families in the early 20th century, the restored Italiante-style residence is now the Border Heritage Museum. This museum showcases the region's history, culture, industry and populations through a series of changing exhibits and educational seminars.

Enjoy a romantic dinner at the Tack Room. Located in the luxurious La Posada Hotel, this restaurant is know as "The Best Little Steak House in Texas." The legendary eatery offers a spectacular view of the San Augustin Plaza from its veranda and a Victorian-style atmosphere throughout the rest of the building.

See the stars at The Lamar Bruni Vergara Planetarium, on the Texas A&M International University campus. Spend an afternoon or evening watching a feature film, exploring the heavens, learning about the secrets of outer space or even enjoying a show set to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." In Laredo, you won't find an attraction that's more out-of-this-world.
