About Us

Our Business

We started our tour business in October 2018 to showcase Jefferson, Texas.  We offer the original guided Trolley tour, showcasing the charm of this small East Texas town.

Beautiful Sites

Our small, quaint town in East Texas has 135+ state and nationally recognized historic structures.  Most of the homes in Jefferson have been beautifully restored and preserved and are showcased through home tours throughout the year.
