Cattle Raisers Museum - Fort Worth, Texas

June 19, 2009
Fort Worth, Texas

The new state-of-the-art, 10,000 square foot facility will feature many interactive exhibits and a fabulous new theater. It will take visitors on a memorial journey from the early days of ranching to the cattle industry of the future. Along the way, you can experience a video game that let's you operate a virtual ranch, a "Ride-Along Round-Up" that takes you on a simulated cattle drive, and a glowing steer that demonstrates the many cattle by-products. You'll also see a wide range of authentic artifacts - from branding irons to saddles - plus highlights from our rare photography collections.

The Cattle Raisers Museum was established in 1980 to preserve and perpetuate the heritage of the livestock industry in Texas and the Southwest. The Museum offers self-guided and docent tours of its 8,000 square feet of exhibits. Popular displays include the Leonard Stiles Branding Iron Collection, the Ken Spain Saddle Collection, and the Joe Russell Spur Collection.

If you like cowboys and the wild, wild West come to the Cattle Raisers Museum. Here you will encounter men like Charles Goodnight and Captain Richard King... men who built some of the most famous ranches in history. Here too, you will meet Special Texas Rangers who have been catching cattle thieves for more than 100 years.

Learn about the development of the cattle and ranching industry in Texas and the Southwest at the Cattle Raisers Museum. Interactive exhibits, mannequins, artifacts, and a theater presentation will transport you to the open range. From cattle barons and cowboys to rustlers, Special Texas Rangers, and even longhorns, the real West begins at the Cattle Raisers Museum.
