We stay between Dallas and Fort Worth every
time we come to visit Heather and Scot, but we have done very little site seeing in Fort Worth. Every trip we try to get some Fort Worth sites in, but until this visit we have been unsuccessful.
We headed to the Visitor Center and learned of a new memorial dedicated to John F. Kennedy. He had stayed in Fort Worth the night before he was assassination in Dallas.
We had lunch at Corner Bakery and then headed to the Stockyards. There is a cattle drive down the streets by the Stockyards at 11:30 am and 4:00 pm every day. We missed the morning cattle drive and we had to get home to Pralines before 4. So we would see that another day.
We parked between two brick buildings that we later learned were horse stables, built after a bad fire destroyed the wooden one.
We viewed the video in the Visitor's Center and then we crossed the street to see the Stockyard Exchange and the museum there.
Small museum but interesting.
Behind the museum was the stockyard.
They had a Cowboy Walk of Fame.
The train station was near the stockyard and had been turned into a shopping and resturant mall..
We will have to return another day.
