One of the nicest homes I saw in the area. Typical of high-end construction when it was built in 1896.
A large red-brick church, typical of the early 20th Century.
Oddly squat Jesus carrying a man, to illustrate the famous parable.
Matthew 6:1.
Entrance to the parking lot is on Bowers Street, to the north.
The overlook, at the edge of Davy Crockett Nat'l Forest, is about a mile off the highway on a forest service road. The road, when dry, should be passable by 2-wheel-drive vehicles. (My low-slung sports car made it with no trouble.) Unfortunately, you can't actually see the river below, for all the trees, but it's still a nice view to the north. There's a bathroom there, too.
Don't bother.
A nice enough setting in the town's park, but if you're really interested in the dam, the view of it is better from the bridge downstream of it, or from the bar/restaurant across the river -- and that restaurant's building has its own historical interest, as well.
A quaint little building, of course, accompanied by several other well-preserved buildings of historical interest. The Roadtripper navigation app for this site takes you to a log cabin on the other side of Live Oak Street; this site is at the corner of Live Oak and River Streets.
This small stone marker was erected in 1841 following a survey to determine the location of the border between the United States and the Republic of Texas.
A pleasant landscape, including the falls, which are not as large as the pictures seem to show. After a stroll down a wide dirt path to a bridge, you can cross over and find yourself in a maze of unmarked paths leading in every direction; or you can descend to the creek bank, turn right, and make your way straight to the falls. The place is popular with locals, and there's only room for maybe one or two groups of people at the site. Small kids will love it, though.
