From the cowboys of the Chisholm Trail to Texas' wealthy oil and cattle barons, the neighboring cities of Dallas and Fort Worth have always done things "big." Admire the modern, Louis Kahn-designed Kimbell Art Museum, housing classic works by artists such as El Greco and Caravaggio. Stroll through the luxe, Beaux Arts Adolphus Hotel; learn about Fort Worth's "Cowtown" roots at the Fort Worth Stockyards—a National Historic District; and dine on the region's culinary specialties—fine steaks and Tex-Mex. Throughout, visit the unbelievable private homes of major art collectors, opened exclusively for the National Trust.
