Residence Inn by Marriott Fort Worth Cultural District

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.

Uncover the John Wayne: An American Experience exhibit, sprawling over 10,000 square feet. This exhibit gives you an intimate tour of the life of John Wayne, starting from his early childhood and career. Each room highlights an aspect of The Duke's legacy, including Life on Screen's extensive gallery, showcasing the most iconic film props and costumes for film enthusiasts. The America, Why I Love Her gallery immerses you in patriotism through Grammy-nominated original poems recited by John Wayne, along with never-before-seen family photos and correspondences. Remember to check out the retail space featuring limited-edition items like apparel, fine art, western photography, and Western accessories. And when you need a break, head over to the Lounge, where you can enjoy a beverage featuring Duke Bourbon. Located in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards, this exhibit features over 400 pieces of personal and professional memorabilia, taking you through John Wayne's life and how he achieved the ultimate American dream through hard work and determination.
