New Gallery at The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame

The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame announced today the opening of a new Hall of Fame Gallery. This new permanent addition to the museum will highlight 4 to 5 honorees during four-month rotations. The new gallery will feature exhibits on recent inductees and stories on honorees and their artifacts. In addition, interactive kiosks with photos, videos and other in-depth information will let visitors explore honorees’ artifacts not on display in the Museum. The first exhibit rotation will discuss the Hall of Fame in general and will recognize honorees in five broad categories: Champions and Competitive Performers; Ranchers (Stewards of Land and Livestock); Entertainers; Artists and Writers; and Trailblazers and Pioneers. Specifically, this inaugural exhibition will highlight Georgie Sicking, Pamela Harr, Faye Blackstone, Louise Massey Mabie, and Velma Johnston, “Wild Horse Annie.” The Hall of Fame Gallery will display the wide range of abilities and talents of the 190 women honored in the Hall of Fame...DallasArtNews
