Many historic places are fading into the past. Not this one, it is alive and well. Having some of the oldest structures within the state, the stockyards continue to thrive, businesses continue to prosper and the spirit of the cowboy lives on.
Many of the buildings have new facades, however, much in the area remains much as it was 100 years ago.
The coordnates listed are for the north-west corner of Agnew Street and Exchange Avenue.
If you are in the area and looking to experience an area rich in history and the feel of the cowboy past, look no further than Stockyards City.
