We’re thrilled to share some exciting news from right here in the heart of Winnsboro: our charming East Texas town has officially been named a 2025 Main Street America™ Accredited Community! That means we’re now nationally recognized for our efforts to preserve the historic character of downtown while continuing to grow a vibrant, people-focused economy, and we couldn’t be prouder to be part of it!
If you've ever wondered what it feels like to step into a living time capsule, the Carlock House Museum in Winnsboro, Texas—also known as Oaklea Mansion—is your chance. This isn’t just a house tour. It’s a ride through history, a breath of East Texas charm, and, weather permitting, an unforgettable trip around town in “Woodie,” a beautifully preserved 1931 Ford Model A Station Wagon.
