All Interests
Waxahachie,
Texas and Ellis County, in the north central part of
Texas and approximately thirty miles south of Dallas and Fort Worth, is famous for its
grand courthouse, gingerbread homes, and early architecture. The historic
ambiance of the area makes it a unique place to visit. Many of the period homes and public
buildings have survived in spite of land speculators and early economic development. For over
seventy years, from the 1850s to the 1930s, this was one of the wealthiest
areas in the state. This wealth was due in large part to "King Cotton" and
all the auxiliary industries supporting it. All this affluence prompted
the building of many large
beautiful homes and buildings filled with the accoutrements of this wealth.
 Now this area is blessed with an abundance of antiques and collectibles
reflecting this era.
Waxahachie is one of the most
unique and picturesque downtown areas in Texas and is well-known for its antique, gift,
and fashion shops, as well as great restaurants and a historic hotel, all within walking
distance from each other.

Tour - Like most old cities across the United States,
Waxahachie has a very colorful and historic past. Starting back in the
1840s when Emory Rogers first settled this area, and extending
well into the 20th century, many events, both tragic and momentous, have
occurred in and around town. Early on, several major cattle trails passed
by this area with large herds being driven north to
the Kansas markets. Many cowboys dropped by town to tie one on. Who knows
how many of these cowboys never made it back to the herd. With the
affluence of this area, there are, no doubt, many deaths that have remained
unsettled. There is no wonder that paranormal activity
is being reported in and around Waxahachie and Ellis County. Two of the most famous
destinations are The
Catfish Plantation Restaurant and
The Rogers
Hotel. This Tour includes accommodations at The Rogers Hotel and
discounts for dining at the
Tavern on the Square and The Catfish Plantation. With grave markers dating
back to the 1840s, the Old City Cemetery should not be missed.
