John Wayne celebrates his 116th birthday with the help of his family and Museum

The family of the Duke, the legendary John Wayne, recently celebrated his 116th birthday in the Fort Worth Stockyards.

His granddaughter tells the Cowboy Channel’s Katy Lucas exciting things are in store for the Museum named in his honor.

Not only has the Museum’s place in the Stockyards been extended but the facility itself has, too, adding another 4,000 square feet.
