New museum dedicated to Texas longhorns could open in the Stockyards in 2026
A museum celebrating the Texas Longhorn may be coming to the Fort Worth Stockyards.
On Dec. 23, an engineering company filed paperwork for a drainage study at 101 Stockyards St., a lot that has a statue of several longhorn cows and a sign dedicated to the Texas Longhorn Breeders of America Foundation, but not much else.
The lot is off of Main Street, across from Billy Bob’s Texas in an area surrounded by properties included in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District.
A sign on the lot advertises the Texas Longhorn Breeders of America Museum, coming 2026. The sign shows a mockup of a museum building.
Records showed that the project is owned by Tom Buxton, a Fort Worth businessman. The applicant for the drainage study is Clay Cristy of Claymoore Engineering.
On Dec. 30, a representative for the Texas Longhorn Breeders of America Foundation clarified that Buxton is the vice president of the board of the foundation, and not the project owner. The foundation is the project owner.

CORRECTION: This story has been updated to correct the name of Texas Longhorn Breeders of America Foundation and the owner of the property.
