The rich history of rodeo and the sport it has evolved into, along with the even richer history of Pecos, have provided the impetus for the creation of The Texas Rodeo Hall of Fame by a group of dedicated individuals striving to preserve that history, with the realization that history is more than events: It's the people. The Texas Rodeo Hall of Fame honors those who have reached the pinnacle of their sport and served as worthy ambassadors to further the sport and sportsmanship of rodeo with emphasis on those who have competed in The West of the Pecos Rodeo here in Pecos, Texas. The new and permanent home for the Texas Rodeo Hall of Fame is located in the "Old T&P Depot" at Dot Stafford St. We encourage you to visit both The Texas Rodeo Hall of Fame and The West of the Pecos Museum the next time you are in Pecos, Texas. The Texas Rodeo Hall of Fame is open during the West of the Pecos Museum’s hours:
Tuesday through Saturday 10am to 4pm. As of our 2023 Induction we have 68 TRHoF Inductees.
