Description
Texas ranching dates back three centuries, but during and soon after Texas Independence, cattle-raising became well established. From Spanish land grants to newly arrived farmers who became cattle ranchers, the exhibit will give visitors an understanding of the early days of the cattle industry up to the time in the late 19th century when the massive ranches that established the “every thing was bigger in Texas.”
The exhibit will also focus on how ranching was done. The day to day logistics of running a small spread to the giant cattle drives was a daunting task that took a special kind of person, not only to handle the chores but merely to survive. The working tools of the trade have been laid out for all to see.
The enduring image and romantic ideals of the old west cowboy are also presented through art and photography from the collections of the DHS. The exhibit has been generously sponsored by Sterling Bank.

The History of our City and State is a lot of things, while the Cowboy Business was one of the early most simple forms of life that made a Texan..the rest became History and so much of that History is in the artifacts and documents that are now on display at the Hall Of State on Ranching and Cattle history, this year at the Texas State Fair of Texas,..thats a long phrase, then again you can see more of the real thing in Ft Worth,I recall later on,... until then, Alexander Troup,.. Historian.
