Attractions in Mount Pleasant and Titus County
Visit the attractions in Mount Pleasant and Titus County and you’re sure to leave feeling reconnected with nature, appreciating the Native American history of the region, and hopefully toting a car full of fresh-picked produce. This is a Texas destination where you can hear Theodore Roosevelt speak during the day and listen to live jazz music at a vineyard in the evening. Pick your own blueberries and get up close to a vintage airplane.
Needless to say, the short two-hour drive east of Dallas to this city is well worth it. Read on to see some of the top attractions in Mount Pleasant.
