Step into the boots of one of Texas’ most iconic law enforcement agencies with our newest exhibit, The Texas Rangers: A Legacy of Law and Legend. This immersive timeline explores the fascinating evolution of the Texas Rangers—from their early frontier days to modern times—highlighting the pivotal moments, key figures, and cultural impact that shaped their storied legacy.


The exhibit features rare and personal artifacts on loan from Maurice Cook, former Chief of the Texas Rangers and current Bastrop County Sheriff. Visitors will get a unique look at his private collection, which includes historic records, memorabilia, and even badges from the hit television series Walker, Texas Ranger, where Cook served as a consultant.


Admission is $8 and gets you into both the exhibit and museum. Members, military and children 12 and under get in free.


Join us for the Opening Reception on May 2, which will include a special book signing…
