Local Tips
Waxahachie is an architectural treasure — the Ellis County Courthouse is one of the most elaborate in the country, and the surrounding streets preserve one of Texas's finest collections of Victorian-era homes.
The Fair
Every year, Waxahachie hosts the Ellis County Fair, which is a September fair in the blackland prairie south of Dallas, celebrating the cotton and cattle heritage of a county known for its extraordinary collection of Victorian architecture and the annual Scarborough Renaissance Festival.
