Some fun facts about Funkytown. | Photo by @katebranning

Here’s something pretty nifty about Cowtown that you may not know: about 60% of the paper money in the US is printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing on Blue Mound Road.

But that’s not all. Fort Worth is home to the biggest private Civil War collection. The Texas Civil War Museum is also the most comprehensive collection west of the Mississippi River.

In addition to extensive military memorabilia, the city features incredible works of art — by famous artists El Greco, Cezanne, Rembrandt, Picasso, and Matisse — at the Kimbell Art Museum.
