Republic of the Rio Grande Museum, Historic house museum in downtown San Agustin Historic District, Laredo, United States.

The Republic of the Rio Grande Museum occupies a Mexican vernacular structure from 1830, featuring three restored period rooms that represent a traditional home setting.

The building served as the capitol of the Republic of Rio Grande, an independent nation that existed for 283 days between Texas and Mexico in 1840.

The museum contains period furniture, photographs, and objects that demonstrate the daily life and traditions of nineteenth-century residents in the Texas-Mexico borderlands.

Located at 1005 Zaragoza Street, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Saturday between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM for guided tours and exhibitions.

The structure stands as one of the oldest buildings in Laredo and represents the seventh flag that flew over Texas, beyond the commonly known six flags.
