 Outside the National Cowgirl
Museum and Hall Fame by ATXtraveler, 2 more photos
When we went in September 2008, the museum was splitting its area with the Museum of Natural Science and History, since it is closed for renovations.
There are plenty of things to see and do in the museum, including a movie theater that occasionally hosts small music sessions. During our walk through, we were joined by the Barbershoppers from Fort Worth who sang some fun songs about Texas and America.

That's another great spot we've been to, and like with the most places it's not easy to find any parking lots left unless you make it very much in time.
As for this wonderful museum I allow myself to quote from Yaqui's tip, pls check out her most fantastic & helpful Fort Worth-tips!
"This museum represents alot of hard work and attention to detail..it has twelve glass murals depicting portraits or images of cowgirls which slowly change when looking at them in a different direction. Pretty cool I say! It has so many wonderful exhibits it is a must see for sure when your in Fort Worth Texas!"

Entrance to the Fort Worth Science and History Museum also includes a visit to the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame.
There are 160 women who are honored within these walls. Inspirational women who exhibited spirit, courage and leadership. You'll find cowgirls, ranchwomen, entertainers, artists, teachers and writers who have 'blazed their own trail' in life.
The interior is beautifully designed so that an enormous amount of light enters the building. I particularly liked the moving art pictures near the ceiling in the foyer.
You'll experience a taste of pop culture, ranching and the American West through the displays, tributes and film clips. I thought it was a nice portrayal of the cowgirl spirit!
Hours are Mon.-Thurs. 9am-5:30 pm; Fri.-Sat. 9am-8pm; Sun. 11:30am-5:30 pm. Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve Day and Christmas Day.
Admission for the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame only is $8 for adults; $7 for seniors and children 3-12. Phone: 817-336-4475Directions: Exit I-30 either get off on University or Montgomery and head for the cutural district. There are many signs present.Website: http://www.cowgirl.net

One of the VT members laughed when I said we visited the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame over the Kimball Art Museum but I pointed out that a) where else but Texas could I find a museum devoted to cowgirls and b) the Kimball had borrowed the collection of impressionist art from Chicago's Art Institute and I could see it any time.
Since we got in free because it was the Day in the District when a handful of museums were free to the public, I thought it was a worthwhile stop. The museum focuses on cowgirls and many other women such as Dale Evans and Annie Oakley who shaped the American West. There are several interactive exhibits that looked fun for kids, they can hop on a bucking bronco and get filmed which can later be seen on the Internet, have their picture put on old Western film poster or give a try at being a cowgirl or boy.
We only spent about a 1/2 hour here but if you watched some of the films or come with kids, I could see a visit being an hour or two.

Originally founded in 1975 in Hereford Texas, it was moved to Ft Worth in 1994 and its research library has over 3,000 rare photographs. Women featured at the museum are painter Georgia O’Keeffe, Laura Ingalls Wilder (author of Little House on the Prairie), Herietta Chamberlain King (co-founder of the hug King Ranch in Southern Texas), Annie Oakley (legendary cowgirl and sharpshooter) and Patsy Cline (singer) and Dale Evans (actress) to name only a few.

 Snarfy at the Cowgirl Museum,
Ft. Worth by MissAntarctica2002
The Hall of Fame is located in the central rotunda, with chrome buttons embedded in the walls with the name of each honoree. There are two massive computerized displays that allow visitors to use a touch screen to view the biography of any of the honorees.
The museum features cowgirl artwork, artifacts, films, interactive displays, photographs and much more. The main film "Catch the Cowgirl Spirit" is so moving that by the end of it I got a little choked up.
On the whole this is a terrific attraction that you shouldn't miss. Kids will enjoy it as well. There is also a gift shop and small cafe on site. Leave a Comment Phone: 817-336-4475Directions: In the cultural district next to Will Rogers Memorial Center. If driving, exit I-30 either on University or Montgomery and head for the cultural district. Signs show the way. By transit, take #7 University bus and tell driver you want the Cowgirl MuseumWebsite: http://www.cowgirl.net
