Founded over 200 years ago in 1823 by Stephen F. Austin, the Texas Rangers have had a role in every part of Texas history. From the early frontier years to the lawless oil boomtowns and motorized bandits of the 1920s to the cutting-edge technology and techniques of the modern investigators, the Rangers have many stories to tell.
Audrey Ladd, Education Programs Manager of the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum, will be presenting on the transition of the Texas Rangers from frontier fighters into the well-respected law enforcement officers they are today. The presentation will combine the cases, legends, and evolving technology that shaped the Rangers over two centuries.
This event is part of a year-long citywide celebration of Waco's 175th anniversary.
