Fun room on TV-related items with The Lone Ranger and Walker, Texas Ranger, including lunch pails, coloring books, and story books. Nice film on the history of the Rangers -- the good and the bad -- but it is a little too long.

Six shooter.

At the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum, feel the heft of a real six shooter you can hold in your hand!

Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum

Disseminates knowledge and inspires appreciation of the Texas Rangers, a legendary symbol of Texas and the American West and it serves as the principal repository for artifacts and archives relating to the Texas Rangers. In other words - lots of guns, knives, badges, etc. on display plus a good history lesson on Texas and the Rangers.

[JJ, 11/30/2002]

The Museum also displays Bonnie and Clyde's shotguns, taken from their Death Car by the Texas Rangers that ambushed them in Louisiana.
