Chinatown Plaza, an open-air mall founded in 1994 by James Chen, a developer who envisioned a Chinatown that was different from the one he first saw when he arrived in Los Angeles as an immigrant in 1971.
“Since the whole town of Las Vegas is man-made anyway, I thought, ‘Why not build a Chinatown to serve the needs of the growing Chinese population?’” Mr. Chen said.
... a recent tour through the neighborhood saw evidence of more coming soon, in a large empty lot several miles west of the plaza. A prominent sign staking out the space read, “KOREATOWN!”

The Museum of the Coastal Bend showcases the rich multi-cultural heritage of the mid-coastal region of Texas. The Museum’s mission is to enhance the appreciation and enjoyment of the region's heritage. The Museum's purpose is to collect, preserve, exhibit, interpret, and educate using the history and heritage of the region.
Museum of the Coastal Bend buildingFor many years The Victoria College worked with board advisors and volunteers from Victoria and nearby communities to develop the Museum of the Coastal Bend. The Victoria College is an established higher educational institution that has served the Coastal Bend community since 1925. They began with a concept of creating a cultural institution for educational enrichment to enhance the public’s appreciation and enjoyment of the region’s heritage and the preservation of natural resources.
Hiring a full time museum director and contracting with Steve Harding Designs a professional Ribbon Cuttingmuseum exhibit consulting firm from Houston, launched this important community project. Along with the goal of creating a museum that fulfilled the College’s educational mission, they also wanted a museum that would complement existing local and regional museums and educational facilities. The proposed museum’s offerings would include a comprehensive overview of the rich Coastal Bend heritage (i.e. prehistory, colonialism, maritime industry, steamboat commerce, ranching industry, etc.) and place it into a regional perspective.

Fulton Mansion State Historical Site
The Fulton Mansion is an 1870s French Second Empire Historic House museum constructed by George and Harriet Fulton. It is a wonderful and unique site for its unusual construction method, modern mechanical systems, and architecture. The site is owned and operated by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. This has both its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are that we have the strength of a large parent organization with tremendous resources behind us and we know that we will at least have enough money in our budget to open the doors. The disadvantages are that because we are primarily state-supported, people assume that we do not need additional financial support, and we are part of an organization dominated by sporting, outdoor recreation, and natural resource interests. Sometimes our needs get lost in the shuffle, although the agency has undertaken several steps to insure that this not continue to be the case.
