WELCOME TO
THE HALL

Since 1955, honoring rodeo’s greats

Seventy years ago, the National Rodeo Hall of Fame was born in the south end of the West wing of the brand new National Cowboy Hall of Fame. The goal was to add one more story to the many told by the Museum: A story of how across the country, under bright lights and on solid dirt, cowboys and cowgirls transformed the practical skills of riding and ranching into a thrilling athletic endeavor.

Every year, the National Rodeo Hall of Fame welcomes the best competitors, innovators and supporters in the long history of the sport.

They call it “The Hall.”

So, howdy, and welcome.
