USA - TEXAS - FORT WORTH : CAPTURES THE SPIRIT OF THE AMERICAN WEST  In its youth, Fort Worth was a rough-and-tumble frontier town, dusty and lawless, home to the brave and the brawling, the soldier, the frontiersman, the outlaw. Today, Fort Worth, one of the largest cities in Texas and the 19th-largest city in the United States, is a destination shaped by its revitalized downtown center, a world-renowned cultural arts district, beautifully preserved Western-heritage sites and major-league attractions. Like no other city in the United States, Fort Worth captures the spirit and authenticity of the American West. A visit to Fort Worth is not complete without seeing the famed Stockyards National Historic District. It looks much the same today as it did 100 years ago. In fact, the entire avenue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Catch the Fort Worth Herd, the world’s only daily cattle drive, on their twice-daily drive down Exchange Avenue. The authentically restored Grapevine Vintage Railroad carries visitors into Stockyards Station, the former hog and sheep pens turned into a shopping and dining marketplace. Rodeo action and wild west shows take place year-round in the Cowtown Coliseum, home of the world’s original indoor rodeo first held here in 1918. The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, located in the Stockyards’ original mule barns, features the Sterquell Wagon Collection of authentic lifestyle wagons and honors the top cowboys and cowgirls in Texas. “Texas-sized” takes on a whole new meaning at Billy Bob’s Texas, the “World’s Largest Honky-Tonk.” This must-see, named “Club of the Year” an amazing eight times, can hold up to 6,000 people and plays host to country music’s top performers. Nearby, the White Elephant Saloon is an authentic Western watering hole offering Country & Western music nightly. The entire historic district is recognized as much for family entertainment and shopping as for saloons and boot-scootin’. Downtown’s Sundance Square, named for the Western outlaw Sundance Kid, is a 20-block shopping and entertainment district restored to its original Victorian beauty, and filled with restaurants, theaters, shops, museums and galleries, and hotels and residences. Here too is the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall, the permanent home for the city’s professional symphony, opera and ballet companies, as well as the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and productions of Casa Manana Theatre. Also located in Sundance Square is the Sid Richardson Collection of Western Art, a small museum that showcases 60 paintings and bronzes by Western greats Frederic Remington and Charles Russell. Outside the Historic Stockyards, Western culture is evident in the city’s museums like the Amon Carter Museum, events, architecture and cuisine. Nearby, the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame provides an interactive showplace for heroines of the American West, from Annie Oakley and Sacajawea to Dale Evans and US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. Other attractions are The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, the Fort Worth Zoo, The Texas Civil War Museum, the Kimbell Art Museum, The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Will Rogers Memorial Center. Major-league auto racing has captivated Fort Worth, the home of Texas Motor Speedway, one of the largest sports and entertainment facilities in the country. Throughout the year, the superspeedway plays host to NASCAR and IRL IndyCar races, plus other major forms of American auto racing. New hotels are being built in booming Fort Worth, adding to its 135 hotels and motels – 1,400 hotel rooms downtown and about 11,300 in all of Forth Worth. Photo courtesy Fort Worth CVB
