From south of Cherokee county
along Highway 69 through
Wells to north at Bullard, passing along through
Rusk and Jacksonville, from the east
on Highway
79 to New Summerfield to west to Cuney you will
travel some of the most beautiful wooded country in
the South. Pines, majestic oaks, sweet
gums and
dogwoods give spring and fall an explosion of colors.
Many do not visualize Texas as part of the Old South
until they have been through this area. In your travel
through Cherokee County, Texas in the heart between
New Summerfield, Jacksonville and Rusk is the City
of Gallatin Texas. A spectacular scenic view across
the county is afforded just north of
Jacksonville at
Love's Lookout Park, named
for the family who
donated the park.
We hope you will visit whether to take a historic train
ride or a walk across the historic
footbridge in the
