Description
Begun in 1975 in the small panhandle town of Hereford, this museum moved in 2002 to a grand new home in Fort Worth?s renowned Cultural District. Inside are five galleries, including interactive exhibits with artifacts and archival photography, traveling exhibits pertaining to life in the American West, three theaters, a research library, and a gift store. The museum?s aim is to showcase the work of women who settled the west and those who continue to share the spirit of the cowgirl. Among more than 175 women who have been honored in the hall of fame are artist Georgia O?Keefe, singer Patsy Cline, actress Dale Evans Rogers, hat maker Sheila Graves Kirkpatrick, barrel racer Martha Josey, former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O?Connor. Admission price includes admission to the Museum of Science and History.
