Bowie House opened in 2023 by Jo Ellard, a National Cutting Horse Hall of Famer. She previously owned a cottage on Camp Bowie Blvd because of her ample time spent at the NCHA, headquartered in west Fort Worth.

She purchased the property next to her vacation home when it became available, which was then a church and a bar. After Dickies Arena opened in 2019, she realized Fort Worth needed another place for cowboys to stay. Her cottage, the church, and the bar were then demolished and are now the Bowie House today.
