Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, Fort Worth

The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame is a museum and hall of fame located in the historic Stockyards area. Established in 1997 and relocated to its current site in 2001 within a former horse and mule barn, the institution honors over 125 men and women who have demonstrated excellence across rodeo competition, ranching, western business, and related fields.

Exhibits spotlight personal memorabilia-such as saddles, champion buckles, photographs and gear-from inductees including Ty Murray, Charmayne James and George Strait.

Visitors can explore themed displays like the Sterquell Wagon Collection, the John Justin Trail of Fame, Chisholm Trail exhibit, Applewhite-Clark showcase, Zigrang Horse Bit Collection, and Amon G. Carter’s 1933 Cadillac, which features a custom pistol holder. An onsite old-west photo parlour adds a hands-on element, allowing guests to dress up and record their visit in period style.
