Before Starbucks and iPad apps were a sign of city life, ole’ saloons and horse-drawn carriages were markers of a thriving town. Lucky for us, these historic hubs still exist and are now happening spots for lil’ cowboys and cowgirls. Looking to roll up their sleeves and pan for gold? Or watch an old fashioned shootout without the danger? Flip through our slideshow for the best Wild West Towns across the country.

Fort Worth, Tx

Filled with attractions for the littles like a maze, cattle roping and an old timey photo studio, The Stockyards is a huge district in Forth Worth that’s like stepping into a history book all about the Old West. And with a petting zoo, a daily cattle drive, a cowboy hall of fame and more, a day will easily fly by. If you do visit, take advantage of the change to “lock up” your kiddo in the county jail.
