The Buckhorn Saloon and Texas Ranger Museum

Established in 1881, the Buckhorn Saloon evolved from a bar with antler decorations into a collection featuring over 520 animal species. Visitors can explore the Hall of Horns, Hall of Feathers, and Hall of Fins, which include a Texas Longhorn with horns exceeding 8 feet (2.5 meters) across, a 1,056-pound (479-kilo) marlin caught in Peru, an 8-legged lamb, and a 2-headed calf. Other notable specimens include a 78-point buck, a moose with a 5-foot, 7-inch (1.7-meter) rack, an Irish elk, and a pair of passenger pigeons. The saloon’s early owners traded beer or whiskey for antlers and rattlesnake rattles, crafting items such as a 62-horn chair made for Teddy Roosevelt and rattlesnake rattle art. The Hall of Texas History Wax Museum features dioramas from the 1968 Hemisphere World's Fair depicting early Texas. The Texas Ranger Museum displays artifacts from two centuries of law enforcement, including revolvers, sawed-off shotguns, badges, photographs, and Ranger Town, a recreation of early 1900s San Antonio.
