New Exhibits in Morris Gallery Beginning in early 2020, the TRHFM Collections Department began an ambitious project of updating exhibit content and displays. Scheduled for completion this month, Morris Gallery has been completely updated with new artifacts and exhibits. Morris Gallery details the vast history of the First Century of the Texas Rangers, from the Texas Revolution in 1835, Prohibition and its repeal, invention of the automobile and its popularization by outlaws, to the corrupt administrations of Governors Miriam "Ma" and James "Pa" Ferguson and the formation of DPS in 1935. Top: The Frontier Battalion 1874-1900 Below: Texas Rangers During Prohibition 1920-1935 The project involved months of exhibit renovations, lead by Assistant Collections Manager Rachel Smith, and help from independent researchers, community partners, and the City of Waco. It will enable us to better explain this history. Smith said, “The goal was to create a clear chronological history of the Rangers, introduce new perspectives, and create more engaging displays. I love the new politics display, and the roulette wheel is my favorite new artifact.” Make sure you check out Morris Gallery on your next visit!
