A mural created by Evergreen and the artisans of the Mellini family in Italy. This artwork of a tooled Western saddle is constructed with tens of thousands of small pieces of glass, painstakingly hand-placed together to create this bespoke mosaic.

The museum’s Sergeant Reckless statue, a memorial to a decorated war horse. The bronze sitting over the memorial sign serves as a tribute to the animal and true war hero.
The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame has put finishing touches over its latest project, open to all: the Alice Walton Cowgirl Park.
“This project was borne of necessity and passion,” the museum says. “The need was to create a beautiful space that would be enjoyed by visitors to the area and the new Dickies Arena; the passion was a group of friends who came together to fund the project and name it in honor of a special woman who has been so generous to numerous projects and the city of Fort Worth.”
The park’s namesake, Alice Walton, is praised as a supporter of the museum and the museum’s 2007 Fern Sawyer Award recipient.
The park was dedicated on Nov. 13 when five Cowgirl inductees and the Sergeant Reckless award winners were celebrated at the 44th Annual National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame Induction Luncheon and Ceremony at Dickies Arena.
The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame has opened the new park to everyone and will host several events, exhibits, and activities in the new space.
