Gingerbread Trail – Waxahachie
Lunch On Your Own
Saturday, June 6, $55 pp
Depart SCPL 7 a.m.; Return 6:30 p.m.
Join us for the 47th annual
Gingerbread Trail and Tour. The trail
features five private homes that celebrate
the architectural styles of Victorian, Gothic
Revival, Queen Anne and Gingerbread, all built at the turn of
the century when cotton was king. Trolleys will take us from the
courthouse square to each home where docents stand by to give
you the inside scoop on history, restorations and local ghost lore.
Your festival ticket also includes the following: a tour of the 1895
Courthouse – one of the top photographed structures in Texas;
the Ellis County Museum – home to all things historical; the
Classic Wheels on the Square – a vintage automobile show; and
the Art, Crafts and Antique Fair at Getzendaner Park. You will
be provided with a tour map, itinerary of festival events, and the
location of shops and restaurants – all within a casual stroll of
the courthouse square. Our bus will take us out to the park at
2:30 p.m. for the art, craft and antique portion of the festival.
Revisit the past, sample festival treats, or treasure hunt for art
and antiques – it’s all along the Gingerbread Trail.
Note: We will make a morning coffee stop at Slovacek’s in West.
Ticket cost includes transportation and festival ticket.
