Historic Fort Worth Stockyards<br />
The Fort Worth Stockyards’ <strong>National</strong> Historic District is a<br />
terrific place to celebrate the romance of the American West.<br />
Covering 15 square blocks, the Stockyards are home to hotels,<br />
restaurants, the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, and some great<br />
western nightlife including Billy Bob’s Texas—the “World’s<br />
Largest Honky-Tonk”. Billy Bob’s is open daily and hosts top<br />
country music performers. There are free line dance lessons<br />
every Thursday and live bull riding every Friday and Saturday.<br />
The Stockyards also host the famous Fort Worth herd. Twice<br />
each day, Texas cowhands drive Longhorn steers through the<br />
city’s streets offering and unforgettable glimpse into Cowtown’s<br />
colorful history. As the herd approaches, you’re greeted<br />
by the jingle of spurs, cattle bawling, and rhythmic hoof beats<br />
that bring a bygone era to life. Herd cowhands present a fun<br />
and educational demonstration about the tools, equipment<br />
and techniques used during the cattle drives of the late 1800’s.
