While in Waco, take a tour of the Dr Pepper Museum, a place that serves up history, nostalgia, and Waco’s favorite authentic soda fountain drinks. Most people agree: there’s nothing like a cold Dr Pepper float, especially when enjoyed in the ambiance of a restored turn-of-the-century soda fountain.
Texas Ranger Hall of Fame
100 Texas Ranger Trail
(254) 750-8631
The Texas Rangers, the oldest state law enforcement agency, play an important role in solving crimes and apprehending fugitives.
It took Texas Ranger law enforcement to bring down Bonnie and Clyde, and it still takes a Texas Ranger to keep this spirited state of Texas in line today. From their cowboy hats to the silver stars on their shirt pockets, it’s easy to see why Texas Rangers are famous for their strong presence.
