The
old-Fashioned town of Winnsboro, Texas is located about 90 miles from
Dallas in the northeastern corner of the state. The history of this
town goes back to the year of 1854, when a man by the name of John E.
Winn was passing through the east end of Wood County. That feeling you
get when you come into these parts must have overwhelmed him, for
he became the founder of this small, Old-Fashioned town.

Winnsboro's
original name was Crossroads, but was later named Winnsboro, on
April 17, 1901, in honor of its founder. From the Wildflower blooms to
the colorful Autumn leaves,

celebrates every season that comes its way with hospitality, warmth,

part in supporting and promoting its many activities for every
season.
