2. Rails and Reflection Heading South to the T&P Station Continuing south, we drive by the Texas and Pacific Railway Station. This Art Deco masterpiece serves as a reminder of 1931, when the railroad was the lifeblood of the city's economy. The Water Gardens: Just a block away, we enter the Fort Worth Water Gardens. This "cooling oasis" is an architectural marvel of cascading water. We’ll take a moment to walk down into the Active Pool, where the water thunders around you. JFK Memorial: On our way back toward the center, we pass the JFK Tribute. This marks the spot outside the former Hotel Texas where President Kennedy gave his final public speech on the morning of November 22, 1963.

5. We’ll ride past the iconic Bass Performance Hall, easily recognizable by the 48-foot tall limestone angels blowing trumpets on the facade. Sid Richardson Museum: We stop here to see one of the premier collections of Western Art in the US. You'll see the American West through the eyes of masters like Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. The Tarrant County Courthouse: At the end of Main Street sits the pink Texas granite courthouse. We’ll head inside to the 1895 Room, a beautifully restored space that captures the Victorian-era grandeur of the building's origins.

6. The Tarrant County Courthouse was designed by the architecture firm of Frederick C. Gunn and Louis Curtiss and built by the Probst Construction Company of Chicago, 1893–1895. It is a pink Texas granite building in Renaissance Revival style, closely resembling the Texas State Capitol with the exception of the clock tower. The cost was $408,840 and citizens considered it such a public extravagance that a new County Commissioners' Court was elected in 1894.

About Fort Worth

Fort Worth is a Texas cow town that grew into a city of cowboy culture, a live stockyards district and a remarkable group of art museums.

Fort Worth sits on the Trinity River in north Texas, where the plains meet the woodland of the cross timbers, and earned the nickname Cowtown as a stop for cattle drives heading north along the Chisholm Trail. In the Stockyards National Historic District, wooden storefronts and saloons line brick streets, and Texas longhorns are driven down the street in a staged cattle drive. The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, held each winter since 1896, is one of the oldest in the country.
