Event Description

Explore the iconic Fort Worth Stockyards through the lens of multicultural cowboy history. The Fort Worth Stockyards are synonymous with cowboy culture, but the reality of the American West was far more diverse than Hollywood ever depicted.

On this engaging two-hour walking tour, we’ll explore the multicultural legacy of the Stockyards, uncovering the untold stories of Black cowboys, Mexican vaqueros, Native American traders, and the many immigrant communities that helped shape Texas ranching, cattle drives, and Western expansion.

Beyond history, this tour will also highlight the foodways of the Old West. What did cowboys actually eat on the trail? How did ranching traditions influence Texas barbecue? What foods did different cultural groups introduce that are still staples today?

You’ll sample hearty, history-rich foods as we stop at local Stockyards eateries, enjoying tastes inspired by the past while learning about the deep connections between Fort Worth’s cowboy culture and its culinary traditions.
