I’ve been told by the old-timers that a cowboy would ride all day to spend 1 night in Waxahachie, Texas because it was the go-to place for a good time!
Even though cowboys aren’t riding their horses to downtown, flash forward 125 years, it is still the heart of the city and center of activity with traces of cowboy history around every corner.
Last but not least, mark your calendars for the annual Waxahachie Cowboy Gathering taking place each April in downtown Waxahachie. Hosted by Waxahachie Cowboy Poet and a real expert on the history of the cowboy in Ellis County, David Smith, you'll enjoy cowboy music and poetry from performers from all around the United States. Plus, participating businesses in downtown Waxahachie hosts a "Whiskey Stroll" in honor of the historic beverage chosen by cowboys across the world.

Bonus Tips: When you ride out of town, see a life-size bronze statue of “The Bronco Buster” by Frederic Remington outside Interbank located at 300 N. Highway 77.
