Harrison County, Texas
The Piney Woods of East Texas are home to Harrison County. It’s where history and nature come together. Situated on the Louisiana border, this county has seen its share of drama over the years.
The county seat, Marshall, was a hotbed of activity during the Civil War. These days, things are a bit calmer. Caddo Lake, partly in Harrison County, is a kayaker’s paradise. It’s unlike anywhere else in Texas.
The county has a mix of small towns and rural areas. Festivals celebrate everything from pottery to fire ants here. People are friendly. The pace is slower. It’s a piece of old Texas with modern amenities.
