Waxahachie Historic Downtown Attractions. History overflows in downtown Waxahachie. Below is a sampling of what you’ll encounter when you visit this architecturally divine district.
Ellis County Courthouse. Built in 1895, the Ellis County Courthouse is listed in the top 100 most photographed structures in Texas. Featuring the Richardson Romanesque architectural style, the courthouse is also celebrating its recent $15 million renovation.
Ellis County Museum. Organized in 1968 by local citizens, the Ellis County Museum, Inc. is dedicated to preserving the history of Ellis County. The museum, which also includes the Heritage Visitor Center of Waxahachie, is housed in an 1889 structure located in downtown Waxahachie across the street from the Ellis County Courthouse.
Historic Rogers Street Bridge. This bridge is perhaps the most unique engineering feature in the historic district. Manufactured by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company in Canton, Ohio, it was shipped by rail to Waxahachie and assembled on site. Today, it is a connecting piece of the Waxahachie Creek Hike & Bike Trail.
Waxahachie Creek Hike & Bike Trail. Walk or ride along the beautiful, curvy path of the Waxahachie Creek and scenic woods. The linear trail stretches for 4 miles from Getzendaner Park through the city’s historic cemetery to Lion Park.
