Hollywood Built A Village Then Left It To Decay In Small Town Texas

What is the best small town in Texas?

Texas is home to heaps and heaps of small towns! The decision as to which one is the “best” is, of course, totally subjective, but you will notice that there are a handful of small towns that seem to always make the list when people are talking about the best small towns in the state. For example, you’ll often hear about the town of Fredericksburg, which is a historic German town known for its adorable main street and historic architecture (and wine!). Marfa is an adorable arts town that celebrates something a little strange every year. For a more complete list of our favorite Texas small towns, check this article out. 

Where are some historic places in Texas?

When people think about historic places in Dallas, they usually think of the Alamo first. But, did you know that the Lone Star State is home to lots of other historically significant places, too? Sure is! To this day, you can visit the exact spot where President John F. Kennedy died in 1963, as well as the hotel from which his assailant fired at him. The San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is also a fascinating place with historic significance; the Alamo may be the most famous mission in the state, but the four missions included at San Antonio Missions NHP are often overlooked. Be sure to check them out!
