This museum is wonderful. Currently, the expansion will be completed in February. The second floor…read morewill be open, and the elevator will be in service. Even with that I looked at and read everything. I was there an hour and 15 minutes on the first floor. Lining two stairways are framed horse themed scarves from Hermes of France. The building is accessible with no front steps. There is a large parking lot that is $6 for two hours. Take a ticket from the machine. Pay on your way out. Admission to the museum is $10. I used my reciprocal membership from a museum in Ohio to get in free.

I knew I was going to visit Fort Worth, Texas, and Googled things to do. One of the first things…read morewas the Cowgirl Museum. I was like, HOW PERFECT. It was easy to get to, and there was plenty of parking. I really liked the sculptures outside and around the building. Make sure to take a picture with the giant boot outside the front door. The museum inside is gorgeous. It is very clean and easy to navigate. There is a fee per person to enter. The gorgeous dresses, saddles, boots, hats, and other pieces of history on display were amazing. I thought the museum was very informative and good for all ages. I like the interactive areas like designing your out boots or horses on the giant screens. I also really liked the photo booth as a keepsake for visiting the museum that you can text to yourself.

I wandered into the JFK Tribute Plaza in Fort Worth on a warm afternoon, expecting a quiet roadside…read morememorial--but what I found was a space that both surprises and lingers long after you leave. The memorial itself is a modest circular plaza, surrounded by stone benches and engraved with quotes from Kennedy--words that echo hope, service, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. In the center sits a simple bronze marker, a focal point framed by tall shade trees and soft Texas sunlight filtering through leaves. As I sat on one of the benches, the noise of nearby traffic faded away. I found myself reading the inscriptions, feeling their idealism and weight. Families and solo visitors alike paused here--some sat in reflection, others quietly snapped photos, but everyone seemed drawn into the same moment of contemplation. It's not flashy, and it doesn't try to be. Instead, it quietly honors Kennedy's spirit and invites you to reflect on what public service and courage mean today. The serene setting and thoughtful quotes create a surprisingly intimate connection to a figure who changed the course of history. Fort Worth's JFK Memorial may be small, but it carries a lasting presence--something that stays with you long after your visit.

Dallas has a great Arts District. In just a few blocks of downtown, there are several museums (DMA,…read moreCrow, Nasher), performance halls (Meyerson, Winspear, Moody), and more. If you're exploring the area, Green Family Art Foundation should be on your itinerary. Although its a newer organization (founded in 2021), this non-profit art foundation is already making a huge name for itself in Dallas and beyond. It hosts three exhibits per year in its gallery and makes grants to museums for the benefit of and to educate others about contemporary artists and their work. I stopped by this past Saturday after a visit to the DMA. I was devasted to miss a past exhibit ("A Room Hung with Thoughts: British Painting Now," when I was visiting Dallas last May - I missed the exhibit by one week), so I was determined not to miss their current exhibit when I was back in town last weekend. I made it this time! The foundation's gallery is just a couple of blocks from the DMA and one block from the Nasher and the Crow (include it in your art crawl). It's not large, but it's free to visit, and if their past exhibits are any indication, they'll have some interesting contemporary art on display when you visit. The current exhibit - "Fields of Vision: Dallas Collects" - is open through August 2026, and it was incredible. It brings together artworks acquired by Dallas collectors since 2020. I was welcomed when I walked in and offered a free gallery guide (a very nice booklet, which I took a copy of so that I could look up the artists at home later). Then I was off. There are plenty of interesting pieces in the exhibit, but I was particularly drawn to pieces by Kohshin Finley, Jeffrey Gibson, Jammie Holmes, Danielle McKinney, Ravelle Pillay, Berndnaut Smilde, and Grace Weaver. (I only knew of McKinney and Holmes before my visit.) Stop by when you're next in the area and get inspired by works by artists working today. I'm glad it's made a home in Dallas, and I look forward to my next visit. (Also, follow them on Instagram, for lots of great posts about art and artists!)

This special museum has EVERYTHING that represents his achievements!!! My favorite part of this whole museum is the display of his one and only Oscar! The museum itself isn't huge, but it displayed his car, his film costumes, awards, Warhol artwork, letters, etc. And the museum gift shop has t-shirts, mugs, books, etc. If you LOVE John Wayne, you will love this museum! A must-see! I highly recommend seeing this museum once, and you won't be disappointed! I had an amazing experience! Come and learn about this fascinating film icon! Bravo!!!!! 5 Stars!!!

The Samurai Collection in Dallas is one of the largest of its kind in the world. Highlights include: - Intricate suits of armor, helmets, and masks. - Horse armor and weaponry, including katanas and even early European-style pistols used by samurai. - Informative plaques (in English and Spanish), films on iron production, and a study area/library with relevant books for deeper learning. Well worth a visit!

This place is a true treasure in Fort Worth. The Car & Toy Museum isn't just a collection--it's a…read morepassion project you can feel the moment you walk in. What really stood out to me was the people behind it. The father-and-son team curating the museum are incredibly genuine and welcoming. They're the kind of folks who take the time to talk with visitors, share stories about the cars, and make you feel like you're part of something special rather than just passing through. The collection itself is outstanding--beautiful vehicles, tons of nostalgic toys, and plenty of unique pieces that make you stop and look twice. There's clearly a lot of thought and care put into how everything is displayed. The most amazing part? It's free. In a world where everything costs something, they've chosen to open the doors to everyone simply because they love sharing it. That says a lot about their character. If you enjoy cars, history, or just meeting good people doing something the right way, you need to check this place out. Fort Worth is fortunate to have it.

The curator greeted us at the door immediately- entailing the latest exhibitions. It's uncertain how often the gallery changes its exhibits. I would recommend visiting their home page for more info: kirkhopperfineart.com. We were able to catch artists Matthew Bourbon (acrylic on canvas) and Ashley Whitt (ink prints). I was mostly moved by Bourbon's piece - "Say It Like You Mean It" as the acrylic painting used patchwork to take on the form of person illustrated with what appears to be shoulders held up with confidence and nervous hands. It was admirable to see how much vulnerability the subjects in paintings could represent- despite their being lack of facial expression/and mixed style. A perfect spot to hit up along your trails- to tuck away for a glimpse on the hima Street metered parking and parking lots surround the area.
