National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, Museum and hall of fame in Fort Worth, Texas, US.
The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame is a museum and hall of fame in Fort Worth that documents women's roles in American Western history. The collection includes photographs, objects, and interactive areas that tell stories about women in ranching, rodeos, and other Western pursuits.
The building started in 1975 as a small collection in Hereford and later moved to Fort Worth, where it established itself in a modern building from 2002. This relocation allowed the institution to display a much larger collection and become accessible to more visitors.
The museum celebrates more than 200 women from different times and places who shaped the American West through their work and courage. You'll find names like Annie Oakley, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Sacagawea recognized here, each with their own story of skill and determination.
The space is easy to navigate and the rooms are clearly organized, so you can explore the exhibits at a comfortable pace. For best results, plan to spend several hours to explore all the areas thoroughly.
The building features a large dome with hand-carved relief panels decorated with wild rose motifs. These architectural details reflect the visual symbols that define the stories of Western women.
