Jefferson Texas is a town steeped in history and mystery. This small town just a 3-hour drive from Dallas near the Louisiana border was once a shipping mecca of the South. Steamships delivered goods and people along the Red River to Jefferson which was then transported by wagon to the newly founded towns of Dallas and Fort Worth.
