Area Information & Recreation Links: The following are links to sites I have found that have very useful or entertaining information about the Fort Worth area. Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth is rich in Western history and lore. During the great cattle drives of the late 1800’s, Fort Worth was one of the major stops on the legendary Chisholm Trail. Cowboys on the trail would visit downtown Fort Worth for some much needed recreation. The downtown area was filled with saloons, gambling parlors, shooting galleries and dance halls, which attracted a rough mix of gamblers, cattlemen, outlaws, and lonesome doves. The area was named for the Sundance Kid, who with his partner, Butch Cassidy, was a frequent visitor to the area, then know as Hell’s Half Acre. Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, well-known participants in the “Shootout at the OK Corral,” could also be spotted from time to time in Sundance Square. Most of the buildings in Sundance Square date from the turn of the 20th century, and have been beautifully restored to provide a wonderful architectural view of the past. The red brick streets and lush courtyards add to Sundance Square’s authentic aura. In Sundance Square, you’ll find something for everyone. The many restaurants range from casual to elegant, from intimate dining to a family-style atmosphere. Twenty movie screens show first-run films. Lining the blocks, you’ll find anchor stores like Barnes & Noble and Pier 1 near small specialty boutiques.
