Former Texas Rangers Foundation
Since its founding in 1971 as a 501c3 non-profit to support the efforts of the oldest officially recognized Texas Ranger Organization – the Former Texas Rangers Association, the FTRF has focused its sights on serving current and former Texas Rangers, their families and their rich and storied contributions to Texas history.
Today, through our twelve-acre Texas Rangers Heritage Center, our mission is being further realized by bringing the past alive through immersive permanent and traveling exhibits, Ranger artifacts and exhibits and one-of-a-kind events and opportunities for learning. Of course, the LoneStar Ranger Academy serves as our flagship educational outreach resource.
The LoneStar Ranger Academy – dedicated to “Building Better Citizens of the State of Texas, Our Nation and Our World.” ™
