Historic Jefferson - The Jewel of Texas ...

 

I invite you to visit our wonderful, historic town of Jefferson. It's wealth of history, antique stores, Victorian homes and quaint Bed & Breakfasts make Jefferson a great weekend retreat.

Jefferson is located in the beautiful piney woods of Northeast Texas, less than 40 miles from Shreveport, LA and has a colorful history dating back to the early 1800's.

In the late 1840s, Jefferson emerged as the leading commercial and distribution center of Northeast Texas and the state's leading inland port. As a western most distribution center, significant wealth accumulated, resulting in the a large number of Victorian homes being built. By the late 1990's almost all of these homes have been restored with many serving as unique Bed and Breakfast residences.
