One of Texas’s most iconic symbols could soon be remembered in a museum in the Fort Worth Stockyards.
FORT WORTH, Texas — A new museum may be coming to the Fort Worth Stockyards, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram recently reported.
Amid an ongoing $360 million expansion of the Fort Worth Stockyards, a new museum celebrating one of Texas’ most iconic symbols could be opening in the historic district, filings indicate.
According to reporting from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, a Dec. 23 filing seeks to complete a drainage study at 101 Stockyards St., which currently houses a statue of several longhorn cows with a sign dedicated to the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America.
The applicant for the drainage study is Clay Cristy of Claymoore Engineering.
The lot is located across from the longtime Honky Tonk, Billy Bob’s Texas. A sign on the lot teases a Texas Longhorn Breeders of America Museum, coming in 2026, plus a rendering of the future museum.
Records accessed by the Star-Telegram show the land is owned by Tom Buxton, a Fort Worth businessman.
WFAA reached out to the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America for comment, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
