Dallas-Fort Worth Attractions
The Stockyard District
Fort Worth Stockyards
Fort Worth is THE place to experience the romance and mystique
of the American Wild West, and the Stockyards National Historic
District is the ideal place to start. The district encompasses 15
blocks packed full of exciting 'Cowtown' attractions, from rodeos
to cattle drives, country music shows, shops selling genuine cowboy
gear, saloons and Texan diners, and the 'Tarantula Train' steam
railway on which regular re-enactments of a train robbery are
performed. The Stockyard District is also the venue for several
annual festivals and western events and home to the world-famous
Billy Bob's Honky Tonk.
