SID RICHARDSON MUSEUM - The museum’s focus exhibition, “A Fortune in Oils: Sid Richardson’s Personal Collection” presents a personal look at the museum’s namesake by interweaving Sid Richardson’s Collection of Western masterworks with rarely seen artifacts including letters, objects, photographs and articles published during his lifetime. “This unique exhibit transcends the walls of our gallery, taking our visitors inside the life and times of Sid Richardson,” says Sid Richardson Foundation President and CEO Pete Geren. Plainspoken and unpretentious, Richardson was once described by the Ladies Home Journal as the wealthiest man in America with an estimated worth of more than $700 million. He amassed his wealth from West Texas petroleum and used it to pursue his interests. This exhibition reveals a rich narrative of Sid’s life with four areas of emphasis: the oil business, ranching, collecting art and philanthropy. Hrs. Mon.-Thurs. 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Fri. & Sat. 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Sun. noon-5 p.m. Free admission and free tours. Free valet parking in Sundance Square.

STOCKYARDS & STOCKYARDS STATION are unique places in Texas: an exciting blend of old and new. The livestock industry began to develop here in the 1880s. There were cattle, sheep, hog pens, and horse and mule barns. The original wooden barns burned in 1911 and were replaced with concrete and steel buildings. Stockyards Station is proudly dedicated to the preservation of the livestock industry. Evidence of that is the twice daily cattle drives at 11:30 a.m. & 4 p.m. Refurbished livestock pens and sheds, some with the original brick floors, now house 25 shops including restaurants offering everything from roasted suckling pig to enchiladas. This is also where you can go to Billy Bob’s, the world’s largest honky tonk, historic Cowtown Coliseum and the Livestock Exchange Building. Stockyards Station’s event calendar is at www.stockyardsstation.com. Along Exchange Ave., 817-625-9715, www.fortworthstockyards.org.
