You have just arrived at the premier web site for images of all 254 active courthouses in the State of Texas as well as any retired courthouses that still stand today. We at TexasCourthouses.com put thousands of miles on our vehicles and burn several hundred tanks of gasoline each year to pictorially document these fabulous structures. While traveling the 266,807 square miles of Texas is no easy feat, it is an incredibly enjoyable and adventurous, and we highly recommend taking the time to visit these icons of justice. As we travel the state we also take notice of other historic buildings that are either architecturally interesting or aesthetically pleasing, so we made room for these new additions within our web site situated under four new menu headings:
Make sure that you include these on your travel itinerary too when traversing the state!
In line with our new , we have added space on the photograph pages listing information and links to great cafés, coffee houses, antique stores and other points of interest that do business in and near the courthouse squares, as well as those shops in other towns throughout each county.
TexasCourthouses.com desires to help small towns re-emerge across Texas by promoting Heritage Tourism. Heritage or Cultural Tourism is defined as travel directed toward experiencing the traditional and contemporary culture, arts, and special character of a place. It embodies the goals of preservation as well as tourism by using assets: historic, cultural and natural, that already exist. Because more travelers are choosing rural and out-of-the-way destinations, we offer a way for small business to advertise at affordable rates in order to direct travelers to their locations. We do this by a combination of photography and focused marketing. Focused shopping and affordable weekend getaways are beneficial to the tourist as well as the merchant. These people and places add spice to historic and cultural Texas and are a "must visit" when you travel our great state! So peruse through our pages to find destinations that will help to make your trip well worth the effort.
Enjoy your virtual tour of historic Texas as you navigate our website and when you hit the open road don't forget to stop in and say "howdy" to the moms and pops, as we know that they are waiting to greet you with a warm Texas welcome! Trust us when we say that they are as big a part of Texas as the architecture and history of Texas itself.
