On the Midway

What to Know
Carthage is home to the Panola County Junior Livestock Show, which is a March livestock show in the Piney Woods of deep East Texas, celebrating the timber, natural gas, and cattle heritage of a county that sits on one of the most significant natural gas fields in North America and is the birthplace of country music legend Jim Reeves.
Before You Go
Carthage is the seat of Panola County and birthplace of Jim Reeves — the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame, Panola College, and the surrounding Piney Woods and Toledo Bend Reservoir (the second largest reservoir in Texas) define this corner of Deep East Texas.
