Fort Worth Stockyards Historic District (National Historic Landmark) · Mule Alley
Cowtown Winery is a working winery and event venue in Mule Alley, in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards Historic District, a National Historic Landmark district built around the city's early-20th-century livestock and meatpacking industry. The winery's Stockyards Ghost Tour describes itself as the original ghost tour of the district, in operation since 2010, and pairs the neighborhood's Wild West-era history of saloons, bordellos, and violence with a stop at the winery itself, which the operator says has its own reported paranormal activity.
