Sulphur Springs, Texas

Nestled in beautiful, rolling farm country only 85 miles from the heart of Dallas, Sulphur Springs offers a relaxing get-a-way experience far removed from the grind of the big city. Whether you’re seeking family activities, historical education, fishing, hunting, shopping, or just some quiet time away from stress, you’re going to love this place!

This northeast Texas town is surrounded by four major lakes and trophy fishing ¬¬- all within a thirty minute drive! The beautifully restored Court House and downtown square are edged with treasure laden antique shops and specialty stores that offer everything from artwork to clothing. Other attractions include multiple city parks, a historical museum known as Heritage Park, which houses a collection of restored buildings and prehistoric dinosaur bones, as well as the Southwest Dairy Museum and Learning Center, where the history of milk production is presented in dioramas, static displays, and hands-on exhibits. If nothing else, take a walk down a music-filled Main Street, dine in a locally owned restaurant, or engage in a friendly game of chess on the plaza.

A variety of annual events are held in Sulphur Springs throughout the year: the Dairy Festival and Texas State Champion Homemade Ice Cream Freeze-Off in the Spring, the Independence Celebration, including a live concert and fireworks show in the Summer; the Hopkins County World Champion Stew Contest in the Fall; and a Christmas Extravaganza to round out the year. With all that Sulphur Springs has to offer…Life is good, come and see!
