In Their Own Words: An Oral History Audio Tour

The Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum introduces its first audio tour.  The tour enhances the present exhibits with clips taken from the museum’s Oral History Collection as well as published memoirs and other primary documents.  In Their Own Words allows the visitor to hear what Texas Rangers have to share about being in the Ranger service from its beginning to modern day. 

The tour is available below as a pod cast, another first for the museum.  The number in the title corresponds to a number on a sign on the wall or exhibit case of the museum.  Click on the audio track link next to the title of the track or click on the download all audio tracks link to download the tour to your computer.  You can then load the tour into your MP3 player and listen to the clips when you visit the museum.
