Van Zandt County, Texas

Van Zandt County is in East Texas, just southeast of Dallas. They call it the Free State of Van Zandt. Why? Well, that’s a story for another time.
Rolling hills, piney woods, and clear streams characterize the landscape. Canton, the county seat, is famous for its First Monday Trade Days. These are massive flea markets that have been going strong since the 1850s.
Agriculture is big here. It’s mostly fruit orchards and dairy farms. The people are down-to-earth and friendly. It’s where traditions run deep. Where neighbors help neighbors. Van Zandt County is a piece of old-fashioned Texas.
