The Stockyards Museum, located within the Livestock Exchange Building in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District, wants to provide visitors with a better understanding of how the Stockyards worked and what it meant to Fort Worth. The area was a community as well as an industry, and it brought together people from many countries. Many historical society members and their families grew up, lived, and worked in this area, which in the early years was part of two cities, separate and distinct from Fort Worth proper: North Fort Worth and later Niles City.
Our latest project, soon to be released, is a video history of the Stockyards, called WALL STREET OF THE WEST.
The North Fort Worth Historical Society, established in 1976, opened the Stockyards Museum in 1989, after its members devoted their time to restoring the interior's walls, floors, and fixtures. What began as one room has expanded twice since that time. It is a free museum, supported by donations, staffed by volunteers.
