Vision:The National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum’s Hall of Fame was founded to give recognition to the outstanding pioneers who played a role in settling the early American western frontier. The National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum and Hall of Fame also acknowledges individuals that have contributed to the western culture and tradition and play a part in keeping this important piece of American History alive.Mission:The primary objective of the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum and Hall of Fame is to offer the visitor a true and complete historical perspective of the people and activities that built the unique culture of the American West. The work of artists who documented the people and events of the time through journals photographs and other historical items are part of this new collection. These long overlooked materials tell perhaps for the first time the complete story. The American West of today still operates on many of the principles and cultural relationships begun so long ago.Join us on the trail:For more information, please visit the museumWebsite:www.nmwhm.orgEmail:info@cowboysofcolor.org| Museum Facility:  (817) 534-8801 |Museum Business Office:(817) 922-9999Museum Location:2201 Dottie Lynn Parkway, Suite 115, Fort Worth, Texas 76120Museum Hours:Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday 11-4PM [Last admission ticket sold one hour prior to closing).   (Reservations can be made for days other than regular operating hours).Closed:Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Christmas  & New Year Eve and Major Holidays.Information, reservations or to confirm operating hours:(817) 534-8801Admission:Museum Members - Free|Adult ages 19-64- $15|Seniors age 65 and over- $12  |Military with ID- $12  |Youth ages 4-18- $12 |Children3 & under free with paid adultGroup Rate Discount: Available with 10 or more.

<h2>ABOUT THE NATIONAL MULTICULTURAL WESTERN HERITAGE MUSEUM</h2><h3>Housed in the Fort Worth Stockyards at 2029 North Main Street, Fort Worth, Texas, 76164, and founded in 2001, the museum acknowledges the multicultural contributions of Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, European Americans, and African Americans in the settlement of the American frontier. Works of artists and others who documented people and events of the time via journals, photographs, and other historical items are part of the museum's collection of overlooked materials that tell, often for the first time, our complete story. Through various educational programs (e.g., storytelling sessions, "Forgotten Cowboys Tour," cultural heritage workshops, historical reenactments, participatory learning) at the museum and in the community, the Museum shares our multicultural western heritage while instilling positive values of diversity, tolerance, hard-work, and determination. Visitors to the Museum and at our traveling exhibitions leave with an awareness that the American West came into being through the struggles and triumphs of racially and socio-economically diverse people.</h3>
