of the American Wild West, and the Stockyards National Historic

to cattle drives, country music shows, shops selling genuine cowboy
gear, saloons and Texan diners, and the 'Tarantula Train' steam
railway on which regular re-enactments of a train robbery are
performed. The Stockyard District is also the venue for several
annual festivals and western events and home to the world-famous

comprising an indoor rodeo, a massive dance floor, many bar
counters, cafes and restaurants, and a general store. Further
attractions in the district include the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame,
