Stroll Through History Tour

Enjoy a guided tour of the 1930s estate exploring the unique history of one of the largest remaining adobe homes in the state of Texas.

Take a step back in time as the tour begins with the rich history of the Rio Grande Valley including native Coahuiltecan Indians living off the land, the arrival of Spanish explorers, the beginning of the Magic Valley’s agriculture boom and the founding of McAllen.

Then explore Quinta Mazatlan from its creation by Jason and Marcia Matthews and exquisite restoration by Frank and Marilyn Schultz to the present day McAllen Wing of the World Birding Center.

You’ll enjoy the adobe hacienda’s spectacular variety of Spanish style architecture including original Saltillo and Talavera Tile dating back to the 1930s.
