The 26,000-square-foot center houses a 350seat open-air pavilion featuring an amphitheater with a fire pit. It offers a full catering kitchen and a Lone Star Stories Campfire Ring that support a wide range of event opportunities.
The site also includes a campanile (bell tower) and a Ring of Honor, which is a 30-foot simulation of a Ranger badge memorializing Rangers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
The center is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed Sunday and Monday.
Contact the Texas Rangers Heritage Center office at 830-990-1192.
Fundraising efforts are underway for Phase II of the center, which will feature a museum.
Museum planners want to incorporate galleries and immersive experiences, which will include interactive exhibits and a theater that will include stories of Rangers battling bootlegging, counterfeiting, murders, and the man who stopped the University of Texas Tower shooter in 1966.
The Former Texas Rangers Association welcomes new memberships, while the donation arm of the organization the Former Texas Rangers Foundation welcomes contributions to their efforts.
