We walked through here to go to the Stockyard Museum. It's a beautiful building that still houses offices for various businesses. When we were there, there was a cattle auction going on that was being taped for RFDTV. We were able to go in and watch part of it, which was pretty neat. If you walk out of the back door of the building, you can see the longhorns in their pens. There's also an observation deck you can walk up to get a good view of them.

Fun, interesting, authentic place that packs a lot of history and local trivia into a small space. Worth the visit if you want to get a feel for the Stock Yards, their history, and their role regionally.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 197 reviews
Today, each of the historic structures, furnished with authentic artifacts, provides a vivid look at life in the nineteenth century North Texas frontier. Each log house displays different aspect of pioneer life. The exhibits include a water-powered gristmill, a one-room schoolhouse, a blacksmith shop, an herb garden, and several log home settings. Historical interpreters, who are City of Fort Worth staff and volunteers, depict the lifestyle of the people who lived and settled the area in the mid to late 1800s.

Next to the hustle of University Drive and across the street from the zoo and around the corner from Colonial Country Club this little park of history is a marvelous walk through yesteryear. We had a joyful time and the docents were terrific.

Loved this museum!!! From the interactive bonuses to the iconic cowgirls, this place is not your average rodeo!! Loved seeing the outfits worn, reading about inductees, looking at spectacular cowgirl art and experiencing what it meant and continues to mean to be called a cowgirl!! Museum has free parking and is handicapped accessible. Beautiful bronzes surround this beautiful building so walk around and look at them as well. The gift shop has great merchandise and is very reasonable. Staff are knowledgeable and are willing to answer any questions. There is an audio tour you can take on your phone that has great added information. You should really stop in for a great morning or afternoon in Ft Worth!! This is a treasure!!!
