Old Photo of the Stockyards:

One of the exhibits is of a 100 year old light bulb that is still working. The light-bulb came out of a theater that was near the stock yards.

Then of course there was a cattle drive of Texas longhorn cattle. (daily at 11:30 AM)

Of course you could try and ride one!!

Then lunch at the old hotel where “if our service is not up to your standards, lower your standards” is one of the themes of the bar. I love the belt driven two blade fans.

We took a look at the auditorium.

  We also saw the horse buggy museum that has over 60 restored units on display.

Then off for home at the RV Ranch. Tomorrow will be the King Tut Exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art.
