Stories of the Texas cowboy have captured the imagination of people all over the world – and they are the heart of the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame & Museum. 

 

Since 2001, we’ve remained a popular attraction in the Fort Worth Stockyards, attracting more than 60,000 visitors and educating over 30,000 schoolchildren each year.

 

Now, we’ve hit the trail to a new home: the Exhibits Building in the Stockyards, located on Rodeo Plaza between Exchange Avenue and Stockyards Boulevard. We are next door to Cowtown Coliseum and steps away from Billy Bob’s Texas. 

 

Going forward, we have plans in place to make the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame & Museum more engaging, educational and entertaining than ever before.   But while we’re settling into our new space, we’re featuring:

 

The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame  – telling the remarkable stories of more than 145 great Texans, including award–winning musician, author and rancher Red Steagall; rodeo commentator and television personality Pam Minick; cattle rancher and celebrated baseball player Nolan Ryan; 23-time world champion roper Trevor Brazile; Grammy award-winning musician and champion horseman Lyle Lovett; and many more influential Texans.  The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame inductees represent the best of Texas in the fields of rodeo, business, western promotion, entertainment, ranching and agriculture.

 

The John Justin Trail of Fame – celebrating the life of the legendary bootmaker who built a company known for enduring quality.

 

Gift Shop – offering a big variety of western apparel, jewelry, accessories, souvenirs, books and more.

​

 

Preserving the Past. Inspiring the Future.

​

The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame is creating a reimagined museum experience in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards to honor the legacy, heritage, and spirit of the Texas cowboy.

 

The expanded museum will feature eight immersive galleries, the Texan Theater, rotating limited-time exhibits, interactive storytelling, historic artifacts, and the Hickman Wagon Collection, all designed to welcome millions of visitors each year while preserving Texas Western heritage for future generations.

 

We are proud to recognize the generous individuals, families, foundations, and companies who are helping to bring this vision to life. Opportunities are still available to sponsor galleries, exhibits, historic wagons, collections, and secure recognition on the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame Donor Wall.

 

We’re currently conducting a fundraising campaign to make this vision a reality. To find out more or make a contribution, please email info@texascowboyhalloffame.org or contact us at 817-626-7131.
