The Texas Ranger Museum : Home

Welcome to the Texas Ranger Museum! The Former Texas Ranger Association and the Buckhorn Museum have joined forces to create the new Texas Ranger Museum. The 8000 square foot museum, opened in 2007 adjacent to the Buckhorn in downtown San Antonio, contains priceless artifacts documenting the history and lore of the Texas Rangers. In 1936, the Rangers opened a museum displaying treasured documents and memorabila. These objects are now housed in the new Texas Ranger Museum. They tell the true story of the Texas Rangers.
The story is told in three parts: `` The Ranger Gallery--Stephen F. Austin founded this law enforcement body in 1823. The Ranger Gallery is an explaination and exploration of the early history of the Rangers. `` Tales of the Texas Rangers--The courage and determination of the Texas Rangers is legendary. This area highlights events dating from after the Civil War to the present. Individual Rangers tell their well known and not so well known stories. The reason for the legend becomes clear. `*` Ranger Town--Turn-of-the-century San Antonio is recreated using additional bits of Ranger history. Ranger Town provides a walk through town and shares some of the experiences of the Texas Rangers! The Rangers helped to define Texas. The Texas Ranger Museum shows why this is true.
