Buckhorn Saloon & Museum, Museum and saloon in Downtown San Antonio, Texas.
The Buckhorn Museum displays thousands of animal specimens, including horns, antlers, and preserved wildlife from around the world within two floors of exhibition space.
Albert Friedrich established the Buckhorn Saloon in 1881, accepting deer antlers and horns as payment for drinks, which formed the foundation of the current collection.
The Texas Ranger Museum section presents law enforcement history through artifacts, weapons, and exhibits depicting the development of this legendary police force.
Visitors can purchase a combination ticket that grants access to both museums, the saloon area, and the gift shop, which operates daily from 10:00 AM.
The collection includes unusual specimens such as a preserved two-headed calf, an eight-legged lamb, and various artworks created from rattlesnake rattles.
