All the frills

American antiques fill this Queen Anne home. Except for the kingsize beds and wi-fi, you
might think you were back in the 1800s.

Eating & Drinking
Jefferson has more restaurants than you'd expect for a town its size. Many are situated
around Austin St in the old downtown core.

( 903-665-2341; 201 N Polk St; dishes $5-11; 11am-7pm Tue-Sat, 11am-2pm Sun)
Texas barbecue done
right. Order at the counter and retreat to the long wooden tables with your groaning plate
of brisket, turkey breast, fried okra, plus sweet iced tea - if you can grab a space from the
locals.
