The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame is a place of honor for those who have excelled in the sport and business of rodeo and the Western lifestyle in Texas. With over 100 inductees, including legends such as Nolan Ryan, Tommy Lee Jones, and George Strait, there is no shortage of incredible talent to admire. Each inductee has a booth filled with memorabilia for visitors to explore. Located in one of the historic horse and mule barns of the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District, the museum is also home to the John Justin Trial of Fame exhibit, which pays tribute to the visionary man behind some of Forth Worth's most iconic boots. The Chisholm Trail Exhibit and Zigrang Bit Collection are also must-sees, featuring original pieces that only be found in the museum.

The Circle Theatre in downtown Fort Worth is an exciting place to catch a show. They've been around since 1981 and produce about six plays a year, covering many themes and genres. They've put on tremendous contemporary plays like Opus, Something Intangible, and The Great American Trailer Park Musical. What's neat is that the shows are performed in front of a small audience of only 125 guests, making for a truly intimate and unique experience.

Did you know the Fort Worth National Historic District is home to the Texas Trail of Fame? This trail recognizes the individuals who significantly contributed to the Fort Worth Western way of life. The trail is marked by bronze plaques describing the honor bestowed on the hall of fame. The Texas Trail of Fame has placed more than 250 giant bronze stars on the sidewalks of the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. In October, they will add nine more stars to the trail. The nine new additions represent the heritage, traditions, values, and Western way of life. The Texas Trail of Fame is a great way to honor those who have contributed to our Western heritage and traditions.
