Whitehead Memorial Museum, Historical museum in Del Rio, Texas, United States.

The Whitehead Memorial Museum is a museum complex at 1308 South Main Street in Del Rio, Texas, made up of nine buildings set on two and a half acres of gardens. Its thirteen exhibits of period objects, many from the 19th century, present the history of Val Verde County. The grounds hold a replica of "The Jersey Lilly" saloon and the graves of Judge Roy Bean and his son Sam.

In 1962 the Whitehead family, Del Rio ranchers, bought the old building and gave the two-and-a-half-acre property to the city and county for a museum. The grounds hold the graves of Judge Roy Bean and his son Sam, who was killed in a street fight. The original Jersey Lilly saloon stands in Langtry, west of Del Rio.

The museum tells the story of how early settlers built communities in Southwest Texas through recreated village spaces and period household items on display. These exhibits show visitors what daily life looked like for the pioneers who first developed this region.

The museum entrance is located on South Main Street in downtown Del Rio and is easy to find. Plan time to walk through the different buildings at a relaxed pace and ask staff for guidance if you want to focus on specific exhibits.

The museum grounds include a replica of a historic saloon named after a well-known judge from the area. Another special feature is an old irrigation canal that still flows through the property and shows visitors a piece of early infrastructure that shaped the region.
