The Hotel Viggo was once a vibrant and even luxurious place, full of traveling businessmen and wealthy ranchers. But it also served as defensive shelter for early Hebbronville residents who felt threatened by the predations of Pancho Villa and his bandits.

After hotel closed for good, the County repurposed it for use as a senior center and as space for the local EMS service. However, time and climate have worked their will on the hotel Viggo, and it is now on abandoned decaying shell, a far cry from its former glory.

American Legion Post Memorial to the citizens of Jim Hogg County who fought and died.

The old Jim Hogg County Jail is now the local history museum.
