How To Spend A Perfect Day In Charming Corsicana, Texas

• Destinations
• United States

At first glance, Corsicana appears to be a sleepy small town that looks a lot like many other Texas towns that developed between the late 1800s and the 1920s. The wealth produced by cotton and the oil boom, both of which occurred over 100 years ago, provided the resources for the development of the historic district. But, look a little closer… those old buildings are being restored. The deep sidewalks invite you to wander down the street and peek into the windows of the shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. 

What Does The Island Of Corsica Have To Do With Anything?

Corsicana was founded in 1848 as the location for the seat of newly formed Navarro County. Jose Antonio Navarro, a Texas patriot and signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence named the city Corsicana after the island of Corsica, the home of his father. 

The Carriage District

By the 1870s, Corsicana was a railhead and agricultural town. Cotton was king, and the town thrived. Residents began building fine homes in the area now known as the Carriage District. By 1894, Corsicana experienced the first oil boom, making it the first town west of the Mississippi to discover oil. 

Stop by the visitors office to obtain a map of homes to tour in the Carriage District. The tour focuses on homes built between 1846 and 1900, though there are many others built later, especially after the second oil boom.

Pro Tip: You may want to begin this tour at the Navarro County courthouse, located at 300 W. 3rd Ave. It is one of only two surviving courthouses built in Texas by noted architect James Edward Flanders. 

Today, the boom in Corsicana is an artistic one. Filmmakers have taken note. Netflix has produced a docu-series called Cheer , all about the Navarro County national champion cheerleader squad. From one of the wealthiest oil towns in Texas to a town known primarily for fruitcakes, Corsicana is being transformed into a destination for arts and culture. All this is due in large part to one man.

The Beginning Of 100 West

In 2015, Dallas artist and furniture maker Kyle Hobratschk took a chance and purchased the former Odd Fellows Lodge in Corsicana. He has made it his mission to turn the 1890s-era lodge into a home for the Corsicana Artist and Writer Residency appropriately named 100 West, the address of the lodge. 

100 West provides an expansive space for artists in residence, with ample light and texture to inspire and create. To date, the residency has hosted over 100 artists and writers from all over the world.

The Storefront, an auxiliary building, provides a beautiful gallery-like space for visitors to experience the art and literature produced by artists of the residency program.

More than 25 books written by local writers and graduates of the residency program are available for sale. The Storefront also hosts events and community gatherings. 

The best part is that you don’t have to be a budding Shakespeare or Georgia O’Keefe to take part in the creative workshops. I recommend you check the calendar and plan a trip to Corsicana around one of these events. I took a memoir writing workshop one Saturday afternoon and would happily drive back for more events. Bonus: your dollars help fund 100 West.

Last month, the Storefront hosted author David Searcy , whose work has been featured in The Paris Review and Best American Essays 2013 . Searcy divides his time between Corsicana and Dallas.

Before 100 West, These Texas Personalities Called Corsicana Home

Speaking of Texas personalities, Corsicana has seen a few. Lynam T. Davis, the founder of Wolf Brand Chili, got his start here in 1895. Davis would peddle his chili from a cart on the street, selling it for .5 cents per bowl. 

August Weidmann, a German immigrant from Wiesbaden, founded the Collins Street Bakery and created the original deluxe fruitcake recipe. The bakery is family-owned to this day and has two Corsicana locations, as well as several others throughout Texas. If you’re sure you don’t like fruitcake, try this —it just might change your mind. 

Country music legend Lefty Frizzell claimed Corsicana as his hometown. Lefty had a distinct style of singing that became a huge influence on country music. Even if you’ve never heard of Lefty Frizzell, you’ve probably heard his most memorable song, “If you’ve got the money honey, I’ve got the time.”

Both Mobile and Texaco Oil companies got their start in Corsicana, too. While not big personalities, they are certainly big corporations!

Pro Tip: The best way to discover historic Corsicana is on foot. Walk the red brick streets to discover art, history, shopping, and architecture.

To learn more about other Corsicana natives who have shaped the history of the town, take the Bronze Sculpture Tour. As you walk the downtown area, be on the lookout for the life-size bronze statues of Corsicana natives who have played an important role in the history and development of the city. Visitors can pick up a map and link to an audio tour at the visitors center, always a good place to start, or scan a QR code found on each sculpture. 

Explore Art Alley 

Corsicana has a plethora of street art, and all of it would look great on Instagram. Behind the Palace Theater, you will find a colorful alley dedicated to street art. Future plans for the alley are to add theatrical lighting, leveling the pavement to make it more accessible, and of course, there are more murals planned for the future.

The alley isn’t the only place in town to find outstanding street art, though. Have your camera ready for the gorgeous mural dedicated to the history of Corsicana, located on 5th Street at Beaton. Standing on 5th Street, look across at the beautifully restored Dr. Pepper ghost mural. Next to the mural is a sculpture and plaque honoring Lynam T. Davis who was only 12 years old when he began selling Wolf Brand Chili on the street corner. 

The Palace Theater

The Palace Theater first opened its doors 100 years ago as a vaudeville theater, then transitioned to a movie house in the 1930s. Throughout its history, the Palace Theater has featured name acts like Marvin Hamlisch, Clint Black, Aaron Neville, and Herman’s Hermits.

Slated for demolition in the 1990s, the Palace was saved and beautifully restored. The 545-seat theater now hosts live acts year round. In this intimate environment, there is not a bad seat in the house. 

Pro Tip: if you’d like to attend one of the many sold out shows, you will need to book in advance. Upcoming performances include Asleep At The Wheel, Crystal Gale, and Tapestry, The Carole King Songbook .

Shops In Corsicana

Shopping in Corsicana seems to focus primarily on home decor and antiques, vintage and new clothes, shoes, and accessories. Another thing I noticed: Corsicana business owners really know how to create an inviting exterior to lure you in.

A few of my favorite shops and storefronts include the Victorian Sample Florist, housed in a gorgeous, two-story red brick building –– the owner has created a lovely spot for photos or to sit and relax among the greenery.

The Grave Creek Mercantile slogan is quite apt: “Everything old is new again.” Take a step inside and rediscover your childhood. 

My olfactory memories were triggered by a walk through Merle Norman Cosmetics. When I was a kid, my mother worked for Merle Norman and I was a frequent visitor. Today, Merle Norman sells not only cosmetics but a lot of gift items. Check it out for something ultra feminine.

Canterbury Court Antiques is owned and run by a former lawyer who was inspired after spending some time at school in London. He makes a couple of trips a year to the UK and Europe to stock up on English and French antiques.

Emporium 1905 is an eclectic vintage shop focusing on clothes and hats, though you’ll also find decor, jewelry, and shoes. The building dates back to… you guessed it, 1905, and was the first place that Wolf Brand Chili was sold in a can. 

The Turquoise Pistol is a boutique that focuses solely on modern women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories. It also does a brisk Instagram business.

Another favorite shop is Timbers, an eclectic coffee house, boutique, and decor shop. There is seating both inside and out, and the attached boutique has a pretty, boho vibe. This is a great place to take a break and enjoy a coffee or a sandwich and do a little shopping. Timbers is a few blocks away from the Turquoise Pistol on W. Collins Street.

Eateries On Beaton Street

Mita’s Coffee house serves coffee drinks, salads, and sandwiches in a beautifully restored and spacious location on Beaton. 

Nearby, the most well-known place to eat is the Across The Street Diner, with one of the oldest soda fountains in Texas. Next door, the Across The Street Bistro is a fine dining experience. The owner is also the chef and sommelier and keeps a good wine list while serving some European flair to visitors. Both the Across The Street Bistro and the diner are highly rated by TripAdvisor and locals.

Places To Discover Outside Of Downtown

Corsicana has a lot more going on than meets the eye. If your day allows, you’ll want to visit these excellent museums just a little outside the historic district. 

The Pearce Civil War and Western Art Museum states that its mission is: “to bring to life the American Civil War and the American West through collections, preservation, exhibition, and interpretation.” Through interactive video, diaries, and artifacts, plus over 235 works of western art, the museum endeavors to fulfill this mission. 

Located on the Navarro College campus, the museum archives consist of more than 15,000 original documents. The museum archives and reading room are available by appointment only, but anyone can visit the permanent exhibits during regular hours of operation. 

Lefty Frizzell Museum At Pioneer Village

Country music legend Lefty Frizzell, whose style influenced many who followed him, including Willie Nelson, is memorialized at the Pioneer Village in Corsicana. Lefty’s clothes, boots, photographs, furniture, and more can be found here, along with memorabilia from many other Texas-born country musicians. 

Corsicana makes a great day trip from Dallas and a good stop for road trippers heading north from Austin or Houston.

Pro Tip: Downtown closes early, and many stores and restaurants are only open on the weekends. Most shops are closed on Sunday and close early on Saturday. Be sure to check websites or with the local chamber for hours of operation.

My family and I had lunch at Across the Street Diner and were not disappointed. My son loved his burger, while my husband loved his chicken fried steak. The fries and onion rings that came with our orders were delicious. They weren’t oily, just like my fried catfish order. Portions were perfect; not too big and not too small. 

My son also ordered a chocolate milkshake, and he said it was yummy. Too bad I didn’t have room for the desserts. A guy came to pick up his order of 6 different pies. I thought their pies must be good! I should get some for our snacks on the way home.

There is also one of only a few scrapbook stores in Texas. For the avid scrapper it’s worth a trip to visit Scrappin Good Times.

Thank you for the info. I went to their website and it reminded me of a scrapbook store I visited in Houston. I will add this to the article.

Corsicana really looks quaint laid back town with all European vibes. Good to know it is named after Corsica – a famous European destination. I would love to take historic town walking tour and would spot some historic buildings. Pioneer village too look very interesting due to many historical houses, artifacts, and memorabilia of the indigenous people, first settlers, cotton gin, oil fields, to country music legend.

I have never heard of Corsicana but it seems like an interesting town to visit. We love small, historic town that you can see a lot of local life. Pioneer Village would definitely be the place we would start our tour from. Great guide what to see in Corsicana!

What a cool town to visit. I’ve always wondered what Texas is really like and would love to visit and take in some of the smaller places too. Love the history there too and so cute that you can take your dog exploring too.

Small towns are more interesting and I’m glad that they allowed dogs at lots of places.

What an interesting place to visit. I also love that you were able to enjoy some places with your dog. Pioneer Village sounds like it would be a good idea to stop by first to get a little bit of history about the area. I also would stop by that fruitcake place:)

We were glad that our dog could visit the Pioneer Village with us. He enjoyed his time there.

You are showing me so many spots to visit when we get to Texas some day. I love small towns like Corsicana that you can visit for a fun day trip. It would be great to visit the historic sights. But we would be sure to pick up some of that fruitcake!

I would like to grab some fruitcake next time we go there again.

I am always fascinated about the history of a place whenever I am visiting. So it would be great to start by learning about the history of Corsicana. The historical houses and the memorabilia of the first settlers would be interesting to see. The walking tours are always interesting and would love to do that without fail. Collin Street bakery is another place I would love heading to. Love the look of Corsicana.

It’s always a good start to learn about the history of the new city we visited, just like when we visited Corsicana.

I’ve never heard of Corsicana Texas but wow, it looks beautiful! I love how it exudes whimsical old-school vibes and I adore cities that have that historical touch to it. The Pioneer Village is definitely something I’d love to check out. Thanks for such useful insights, i’ll add this to my list for sure!

As an Italian-American I am pleasantly surprised to hear that an Italian helped to found Texas. Very cool. It is interesting that there is a Russian-looking church there too.

I was impressed, too. I never thought an Italian arrived in this part of the country that early. All this time I thought Navarro was one of the Indian tribes.

I love the old-town feel of Corsicana. I think your list hits every major thing I would want to know about a new city. And now I’m curious to try Wolf Brand Chili, as I’ve never heard of it before!

Let me know what you think after you try the Wolf Brand Chili.

I add Corsicana Texas to my next road trip itinerary. What an interesting story with the name of the place, that is named after the Island of Corsica in Italy. I want to visit Petroleum Park, Pioneer Village, and Collin Street Bakery.

It’s interesting to know the history of the name of the city. I wonder whether all the people who live there know about this.

I’m a huge fan of public art and love that Corsicana honors its residents in this way. I need to stop in Pioneer Village to learn about cotton gin, I’m very curious about this. It sounds like the Collin Street Bakery is a must stop and fruitcake mix would be a wonderful gift for the pet sitter

The cotton gin is interesting. We even drove through cotton field on the way there. I would think it was bigger than now.

I’ve not read about Corsicana before so thank you for introducing me to a new place to visit. I’m a history nerd so the Pioneer village appeals a lot. And I like the look of the bronze tour, finding all the pieces around town.

Corsicana sure does look like a quaint little town to explore and as I am just starting to learn about the American history with the cival war etc, then this town sounds like the perfect spot to explore. But I got my eye on the diner, I love American diners and the food they serve (espeically if a milkshake is involved). I take it one day and one night is probably enough here before moving on?

Yes! One day and one night is enough before you move on to the next destinations. Or, you can even stop here on the way to Dallas from Houston.

6 Amazing Ways to Spend Summer Vacation in Corsicana

Located about an hour south of Dallas and Fort Worth, Corsicana boasts some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the area, a bevy of local wineries that produce award-winning wines, farm-to-table restaurants that take inspiration from the area’s long tradition of agriculture, and plenty of family-friendly activities. Best known as the first oil boomtown in the U.S. west of the Mississippi River, its historic, picturesque downtown dating back to the late 1800’s, is chock-full of interesting retailers, restaurants and historic sites. There’s no better way to enjoy life at an easy pace than in Corsicana, Texas.

Enjoy the Outdoors in Refreshing New Ways

Corsicana is home to three freshwater lakes that provide opportunities for a host of recreational activities. One of the most popular lakes is Richland Chambers Lake , Texas’s third-largest reservoir and a popular fishing and boating destination. It was recently featured on Chet Garner’s public television show, The Daytripper . Stay in a luxury waterfront house, a bed-and-breakfast or immerse yourself in nature 24-7 taking advantage of pristine, yet rustic, campsites surrounding this beautiful body of water.

Another family favorite is Lake Halbert , which features both a 650-acre manmade lake known for its quality fishing and boating, as well as an adjacent 145-acre park with all sorts of recreational activities. Let the kids run loose on the playground, soccer field, basketball court, sand volleyball court, softball and baseball fields and, not to mention, there is even a designated sandy beach area by the waterfront. Pack a picnic lunch or utilize the grilling areas so there is no need to leave when hunger strikes, or stay the weekend where you can pitch a tent or bring the RV. At Navarro Mills Lake , embark on a boating adventure or ski, swim and hike until your heart is content. Drop a line and try your luck at fishing, bring your binoculars to spot native birds or just relax on the shore with your favorite breezy summer read.

Flock to Altitude H2O to cool off at this very popular attraction that reimagines the waterpark experience as the largest floating obstacle course in Texas. Try to keep your balance on the floating playground that combines bouncy houses, monkey bars, trampolines and other agility testers, all situated on the water. Your family will enjoy the traditional indoor trampoline park featuring thousands of square feet of trampolines and other attractions.

As a city known for kid-friendliness, it’s no surprise that Corsicana’s public parks are terrific places to spend the afternoon. Bunert Spray Park and Community Spray Park both include water features that deliver an entertaining diversion from the summer heat. While the younger kiddos enjoy these splash parks, parents or caregivers can relax on the shady benches to watch the action.

For an immersive outdoor experience that includes glamping and farm-to-table dining, head to the bucolic getaway, Purdon Groves , on the outskirts of Corsicana. Your comfort-camping set-up includes air-conditioned safari or bell tents situated under the stars, assuring a relaxing—and unique—night’s sleep. The rustic retreat also offers a chef’s table experience with dishes prepared from ingredients grown or raised onsite. Learn more about the working farm through tours of the orchard, livestock area and hydroponic and dirt farming operations, and leave with some of your own locally sourced produce from the campgrounds.

Sip Your Way Through Local Grapes and Suds

Explore Corsicana’s culinary scene which is unmatched when it comes to sumptuous spots to experience local grapes and suds. Brick Streets Brewery  is a winning place to start. Located in historic downtown Corsicana, Brick Street Brewery brews and serves a variety of handcrafted artisan beers. Taps change according to the mood of the brewmeister, so come back a few times to sample them all.

Interested in award-winning wine?  Stroll down to Cassaro Winery’s tasting room, also located downtown. The tasting room offers the chance to sample and purchase wines made by this Lone Star State producer, known for wine that is produced Old World-style with Texas-grown grapes. Indulge in a charcuterie board and enjoy live music on the outdoor patio. It’s a fantastic place to unwind.

To experience both a tasting room and a production facility, head for Angelita Vineyard & Winery in the town of Angus, a short distance from Corsicana. Sit on the patio and gaze out over acres of blanc du bois grapevines as you sip a chilled glass of white wine produced from those same grapes. The winery offers a variety of red, white, blush and sparkling wines, which visitors can experience by the glass, in a wine flight or by the bottle. The winery also serves several appetizers, notably gourmet cheese plates that are just right for bringing out each wines’ nuances.

Explore Historic Downtown Corsicana

With its 26 historic blocks and iconic brick streets, downtown Corsicana is on every visitor’s to-do list. Stroll along the more than 30 retailers, nearly 20 local eateries and numerous historic sites. Revitalization is underway, just when you think it can’t get any better, and 20 new businesses have sprung up in the past year alone! Locally owned boutique and antique shops are well-stocked with eclectic gifts, home décor, clothing for men, women and children, original art and eclectic antiques. Be sure to pick up a few souvenirs at the Visitor Center.

Taste your way through other eateries offering southern cooking, Tex-Mex, Italian and additional flavors. And don’t miss a visit to Collin Street Bakery , originally founded in 1896 and creator of the world-famous DeLuxe Fruitcake and many other sweets and treats.

Immerse Yourself in the Arts

Downtown Corsicana is well-known for its arts. Catch comedy, live theater, dance and more at the impeccably restored Palace Theatre. Originally built in 1921 as a vaudeville-style theatre, the beloved local institution saw a major renovation in the nineties, and has welcomed patrons since then for showstopping programming. The Palace Theatre also just celebrated its 100th Anniversary this past year. Find even more live theater in downtown Corsicana at the Warehouse of the Living Arts Center , a veteran community theater that recently marked its 50th anniversary. The troupe stages a variety of high-quality dramatic and comedic performances every season. Pro tip: Make sure you venture down the art alley next to the Palace Theatre to see all the new colorful murals that have been installed for those perfect selfie moments!

Arts aficionados will love a visit to the Corsicana Artist and Writer Residency , which was established in 2002 to support both visual artists and writers as they pursue new work and ideas. The projects have expanded to four buildings, including studio space, event space and even a bookstore called the Storefront where visitors find both literary and visual works produced by past and current residents. The residency has garnered state, national and international attention, and is an inspiring place for artists, writers and anyone who appreciates them. The residency will celebrate their 10th year anniversary on May 28th with their open studios (12-6) and street party (6-9).

Explore Historical Cemeteries

Among the most picturesque in Texas, Corsicana’s historic cemeteries are filled with legend and lore. Oakwood Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Navarro County, dating back as far as the early 1800s, holding more than 500 veterans of the Civil War. It’s known both for its architectural beauty and for the historical significance of those who have passed on, including servicemen from every American conflict except the Revolutionary War.

The Hebrew Cemetery is a window into the history of the city’s Jewish residents, who first settled in the area after arriving by rail from Houston in 1871. These citizens went on to play a vital role in the community’s civic, cultural and economic growth. There are more than 400 graves here, and one of the most storied is that of “Rope Walker” (nobody knew his real name), a one-legged tightwire walker who fell to his death while performing his act downtown with a cast-iron stove strapped to his back.

Corsicana’s fascinating history as a turn of the 20th Century Texas railroad town, oil hub and agricultural center is revealed in other spots downtown. Drive or stroll through the historic Carriage District to see some of the city’s oldest surviving homes and structures, many of which were built during the oil boom.

Follow the Footsteps of the Pioneers

The Pioneer Village is a chance to experience multiple facets of Corsicana’s history all in one place. Get the full experience of what it was like to be an early 19th Century pioneer here in North Texas by taking a walking tour through the village’s main eight sites. See an Indian trading post, a general store, a pioneer house and kitchen, a blacksmith shed and more as you travel back in time to experience the way early settlers lived. The Pioneer Village also includes the Lefty Frizzell Museum, an ode to the country singer and Corsicana-area native son. Numerous other sites, including a stagecoach, horse-drawn hearse and an outdoor jail paint a vivid picture of life in the old days.

Visitors also soak up Corsicana’s story through a walking tour of its magnificent bronze statues , the first of which was installed at the corner of Beaton Street and Sixth Avenue. Here, a statue depicting an oilfield worker celebrates the discovery of oil in Corsicana in 1894. Each bronze statue features a plaque with a brief history as well as a QR code that visitors can scan to learn more. Fifteen additional statues are located throughout downtown and at the Pearce Museum, Navarro County Courthouse, Corsicana Public Library and Corsicana Municipal Airport.

From the lovely parks and beautiful lakes to a lively downtown scene steeped in history and great restaurants, there is something for everyone in this charming town.
