The Hell’s Cowboys Ghost Tour takes guests into the heart of Fort Worth’s infamous Hell’s Half Acre, a district once so dangerous it earned a reputation across the American West. This was no folklore, it was a red-light district fueled by gambling, corruption, violence, and power. Cowboys, lawmen, con artists, madams, and murderers all walked these streets, and many never truly left.
From the original White Elephant Saloon to the elegant, mysteriously haunted Ashton Hotel and the surprisingly active Barber’s Bookstore, Hell’s Cowboys is built for history lovers, true-crime fans, paranormal enthusiasts, and curious minds.
It’s about standing where people lived hard, died violently, and left something behind - and once you’ve walked the Acre at night, it’s hard to shake the feeling Fort Worth remembers.
If you’re ready to experience Fort Worth beyond the postcards, Hell’s Cowboys is waiting.
