John Wayne: An American Experience Exhibit - Patrick Gottsch Remembered

Following the passing of RFD-TV, The Cowboy Channel, and Rural Radio’s founder and president, Patrick Gottsch, four special tributes aired to honor his legacy and impact on rural America, agriculture, and western sports.
They focused on: Patrick’s relationship with the John Wayne: An American Experience Exhibit, the National FFA Organization, his love for rodeo, The Tournament of Roses Parade, The American, pushing for rural programming, his partnership with the City of Fort Worth, the history of RFD-TV, and saving rodeo in 2020.
This is Ethan Wayne’s interview for one of the special tributes to Patrick Gottsch.
About the exhibit: Sprawling over 14,000 sqft, the John Wayne: An American Experience exhibit is structured to give you an intimate tour of the life of John Wayne. Starting with his early childhood and career, each room highlights an aspect of The Duke’s legacy.
For the film aficionados, an extensive gallery called Life on Screen highlights the most iconic film props and costumes. In the America, Why I Love Her gallery, guests can immerse themselves in patriotism through Grammy-nominated original poems, recited by John Wayne.
All patrons will have exclusive access to never-before seen family photos and correspondences which have been thoughtfully curated in order to give guests a holistic view of the icon, whose values translate both on the silver screen and off.
