The Tex Factor: My Dad, The Duke

Experience John Wayne like never before. 

The Duke’s youngest daughter, Marisa Wayne, takes The Tex Factor on a personalized tour of the exhibit, located in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards.

As she winds her way through the 10,000-square-foot experience, she shares personal memories of her dad, from being with him on movie sets to being next to him on his hospital bed where he passed away from cancer more than 40 years ago.

The Tex Factor: Telling the Real History

The Tex Factor takes you to Fort Worth’s historic Stockyards to see the museum’s collection of clothing, weapons, artwork, tools, and saddles used by famous Native Americans, Buffalo Soldiers, and Hall of Fame cowboys and cowgirls of color.

She shows off pictures, home videos, movie outfits, and their family car with a custom roof to fit John’s cowboy hat while he was driving.
