The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame honors Texas men and women who have excelled in the sports of rodeo, cutting and the equine industry. A few of our Inductees includes: Trevor Brazile, Don Edwards, George Strait, Lane Frost, Ty Murray, Tuff Hedeman, Charmayne James, and Don Gay (8 time World Champion Bull Rider)!! Each Inductee has their own booth that contains personal photographs, memorabilia and more.

Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame opened in 2001 and we pay tribute to over 70 of the top cowboys and cowgirls in Texas.  Our museum is located in historic Barn A, in what was once the horse and mule barns in the Stockyards.  Visitors see seven (7) exhibits for one, low, all-day admission fee.
 

In 2006-07, we proudly introduced three new, beautiful collections: The Chisholm Trail Exhibit, The History of the Charro Exhibit and The Zigrang Bit Collection.  These amazing collections contain original pieces showcased only in our museum.  On permanent display, the collections are historical, educational, and very unique.  You will enjoy viewing, reading and discussing each of these wonderful displays.

The John Justin Trail of Fame pays tribute to one of Fort Worth’s own, who spent a lifetime building the Justin Boot Company and became one of the city’s most prominent civic leaders. Included in the displays are a variety of boots, which were made for famous and not-so-famous customers, and photographs of Mr. Justin and the prominent people he knew as friends and through his business.

On May 15, 2007 our Children’s hands-on, interactive 4-station Exploratorium debuted.  With generous grants from Fort Worth Promotion and Development Fund and Speedway Children’s Charities, Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame’s successful effort to bring forth the value of the western cowboy and wagon history to our guests helped us to meet the need of educating our younger guests during their regular guided tours of the museum.  The four stations are: Packing for the Trail – kids learn how a cowboy would “pack” his horse for a long, trail drive.  Cowboy Alphabet – kids learn the importance of a brand and why they were used, then they “brand” a long horn (flyer); The Chuckwagon – learn about supplies “packed” on the Chuckwagon for the trail drive.   Magnets used to simulate the supplies and kids pack for their trip and  Treasure of the Trail – Kids dig in the sawdust for an arrowhead amongst the dust and rocks!  We wish to thank the American Paint Horse Foundation for their generous donation in support of the "Packing for the Trail" station in our Exploratorium.
