Showcasing artifacts and videos from the legendary Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, the exhibit includes Amon G. Carter’s Stetson hat and dress saddles.

“Texas Ranger Bicentennial”

Explore the history of the 200-year old law enforcement agency through original documents, weapons, and other historical items.

Don’t forget to stroll through the museum’s Plains Culture Gallery, honoring Cynthia Ann Parker and her life with the Comanche tribe.
