THE WESTERN FRONTIER
Cowboys and cowgirls are the bedrock of Fort Worth and theirs is a history the city is proud to embrace and celebrate. Come to the Stockyards to learn all about the men and women who opened the new frontier and made Texas the great state it is today. It’s here you'll feel the spirit of the Wild West, through daily longhorn cattle drives, rodeos, saloons, and shops where you can take home that pair of cowboy boots you know you’ve always wanted. You can feel the spirit when you stay at the new Hotel Drover, which is inspired by the pioneering personalities of the west. Wander among the restaurants and entertainment venues of Mule Alley, where you can also pull on an authentic pair of Lucchese cowboy boots – the perfect souvenir to take home. The new Bowie House Hotel, an Auberge Resorts Collection, pays homage to the western spirit of Fort Worth, with a lobby bar that evokes a saloon from the 1880s, equestrian artwork, and Bricks and Horses restaurant that offers a menu inspired by ranch culture. And if you’re visiting in January, don’t miss the legendary Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, the longest running rodeo in the US, at Dickies Arena.
