Amid
the grandeur of Loves Lookout Scenic Park
and the cool waters of Lake Jacksonville,
visitors find a world of beauty in Jacksonville,
Texas. Jacksonville's luscious landscape is
complemented by quaint antique shops, specialty
boutiques, masses of colorful bedding plants,
historic homes and a unique selection of bed
and breakfasts.
Numerous
tourist events highlight our calendar each
year. The Fourth of July Fireworks Show, the
Tops in Texas Rodeo (July), area theater productions,
the ever-popular annual Tomato Fest (June)
and old fashioned Christmas celebration activities
(December) provide a fun-filled atmosphere
for the whole family.
Whether
planning a short visit or a long stay, Jacksonville's
abundant beauty and warm hospitality will
be time well spent.
