National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, Museum and hall of fame in Fort Worth, Texas, US.
The National Cowgirl Museum exhibits artifacts, photographs, and interactive displays that document women's contributions to Western culture through ranching and rodeo activities.
Founded in 1975 in the basement of Deaf Smith County Library in Hereford, the institution relocated to Fort Worth in 1994 and opened its current 33,000-square-foot building in 2002.
The Hall of Fame recognizes over 200 women, including artists Georgia O'Keeffe, pioneer Sacagawea, sharpshooter Annie Oakley, and Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
The museum operates Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with closures on major national holidays.
The building features a 45-foot-high domed rotunda, hand-carved relief panels, and a wild rose motif in terracotta finials that represent core themes of cowgirl heritage.
