The Cattle Raisers Museum officially opened in 1980 to build greater public awareness of and appreciation for our ranching heritage. In November, 2009, the Museum relocated and re-opened within the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. Established by the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Foundation, the museum's goals include educating students and the general public as to the cattleman's independent nature, pride in the free enterprise system, devotion to private land ownership and commitment to environmental stewardship.
