The Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum is a history museum in Waco, Texas, dedicated to law enforcement heritage. The collection holds over 20,000 artifacts, photographs, and documents spanning three centuries.
The building opened in 1968 as the Homer Garrison Jr. Memorial Museum. The Texas state legislature designated it as the official Texas Rangers repository in 1997.
The collection includes firearms, badges, and personal belongings of Rangers, along with artworks showing scenes from their daily work. Visitors also see memorabilia from television series like The Lone Ranger, which shaped the public image of Rangers in popular culture.
The Armstrong Research Center provides access to historical documents and records for researchers, educators, and visitors. The best time to visit is on weekdays when the rooms are less crowded.
The building houses the headquarters of Company F Texas Rangers, who coordinate their operations from here. A memorial plaque lists the names of all Rangers who died in service between 1823 and 2004.
