John Wayne is an American icon, going beyond his on-screen presence and extending to the values and ideals he symbolized and communicated throughout his life. His legend is celebrated on John Wayne Day, which takes place each year on Duke’s birthday, May 26. John Wayne: An American Experience in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards will celebrate the 118th anniversary of Wayne’s birth all weekend long.
On Saturday, May 24, guests can enjoy cowboy hat customizations, a leather belt and key chain bar, have chain-stitching done on items purchased at John Wayne Stock & Supply, and enjoy samples from Gold Handle Coffee and Wayne Family Estate Wine.
Regular museum admission applies to those visiting the exhibits; ticket purchases come with a 15% discount at John Wayne Stock & Supply. The fun runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
