Webb Gallery was born in Waxahachie, Texas in 1987. What started as a passion for old handmade items such as painted or repaired objects, fraternal lodge items, tramp art, memory jugs, and quilts, became a continuous quest for the unusual. The Webbs have been crisscrossing Texas, the South, and the Midwest in search of the miraculous for more than a decade. more information

 

The Sims Library was built during 1903 - 1904 after a local farmer and investor named Nicholas P. Sims left the bulk of his estate for the establishment of a library for the people of Waxahachie and Ellis County. The land for the new library was given to the city of Waxahachie by its first mayor, Captain W. H. Getzendaner.
