Hill
Country residents soon will have the Former
Texas Ranger History and Education Center added to the list of tourist attractions
and educational opportunities in this area. Our Ranger Center will include an education center where students from schools across the state will be able to come and hear speakers, watch video presentations and participate in living history programs. The idea of building the Ranger Center in Kerrville began in 1999, when association members began to look at ways to preserve more of the history of the Texas Rangers. |

The property, purchased in 2003, where the Ranger Center will be built is across the highway from the Museum of Western Art on Highway 173. The Ranger Center will go hand-in-hand with the Museum of Western Art as part of the heritage of the Hill Country, bringing tourists to our community. |
