SCHOOL TOURS  
(for elementary and middle school students): Students will see displays of over 70 men and women who have shown excellence in competition, business, and support of rodeo and the western lifestyle in Texas. They will get hands-on experience in the use of rodeo gear. In addition, they will learn about horse-drawn vehicles in the Sterquell Collection --- wagons for work and play, in the city and on the farm. Students will be asked to put themselves in the role of a pioneer in a covered wagon, a cattle drover on the Chisholm Trail, or a chuck wagon cook during a Spring Roundup.

School Tours 
(high school students)

High school students will get a brief introduction to the collections in the museum then break up into teams for a Scavenger Hunt. They will use their skills in communication, cooperation and observation to complete the activity in the time allowed. The Scavenger Hunt is designed to be both informative and fun.

Contact the museum at 817-626-7131 for group tour rates.

Note: The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame participates in a "Four Hours of Fun in the Stockyards" Educational Program in partnership with the Fort Worth Herd, Stockyards Station Walking Tours, and the Cowtown Cattle Pen Maze.  For this co-op program, call  Veronica at                  817. 625. 9715.
