Stockyards National Historic District

One of the most-visited attractions in Texas, the Stockyards National Historic District is one of the most popular areas in Fort Worth. Day and night, visitors flock to the Stockyards to experience a taste of the true American West, from museums to nightclubs, restaurants to saloons.

Experience the rich history of the Old West at the Stockyards Museum and the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame. See the Fort Worth Herd, a herd of longhorns driven by cowboys dressed in 1870s regalia. Dine on hearty, Texas-style cuisine. Go shopping for authentic Western hats and boots at the many retail emporiums. Take a stroll through Stockyards Station, where you’ll find many restaurants and retail establishments, as well as the depot of the historic Grapevine Vintage Railroad. Belly up to the bar at the White Elephant Saloon, one of the most notable watering holes of the West. See a real rodeo at the Cowtown Coliseum, site of the world’s original indoor rodeo. Go dancing or see a live concert at Billy Bob’s Texas, the biggest honky-tonk on the planet. All of this and much more is waiting for you in this 125-acre monument to the Old West.

“The Stockyards atmosphere is so authentically cowboy; it’s a stretch to believe that 3-1/2 miles away…hang some of the world’s most enduring works of art.”
