The Texas Ranger Museum gave a collective history of these highly regarded law enforcement officers. From the time of the settlers to modern day, the museum offers a glimpse of what it was like to be a Ranger. I was surprised to learn that one of my childhood TV heroes was a Texas Ranger. My husband enjoyed the hundreds of guns on display since he is a collector. The crime lab display surprised me when I learned that insects on a body can be used to determine the time of death. Morbid but interesting. The highlight of the museum was the PBS documentary on the Texas Rangers. Long in length (nearly an hour) but the documentary told the entire story of the Rangers. Your other option is to read all the signs in the museum display cases. I preferred the movie over all that reading.
