My County Courthouse - Ellis County

One of my “faves” about Texas are the many beautiful courthouses. Texas has a program in place that makes money available for restoration of these old courthouses. This has led to economic renewal in many of these communities because coffee shops, restaurants, art stores, antique shops, and festivals have drawn tourists in the renewed old town centers. Here are just a few photos I took of the restored Ellis County Courthouse in Waxahachie, Texas, a few miles from my home. I love this building. NOTE: There are three images here in a “carousel” format.
