ADVENTURE IN FORT WORTH

Good Morning Friends!

I hope you all had a great weekend. Hubby and I ventured out for a bit of sightseeing. We headed to Fort Worth, TX, specifically the Stockyard area. Hubby is a history buff, so he was pretty excited to do some exploring in the museum, and other historical points of interest.

The arrival of railroads in the 1800's made the area a very profitable livestock center. Great growth came with the help of Swift and Armour establishing packing houses that sold a million cattle a year.
