In Harrison County outside Marshall are a number of sites worth more than one visit. They include:
Caddo Lake, Texas' only naturally formed lake, on the border between Texas and Louisiana. The town of Uncertain is on the south shore, and Caddo Lake State Park offers camping, cabins, canoe rental and guided boat tours - the best way to see the mysterious cypress-laden slues and streams on the Texas side of the lake. |

Stagecoach Road |
Stagecoach Road, at the end of Harris Lake Road off U.S. 59, North, is four miles of beautiful one-lane sunken roadway. It is maintained just as it appeared when stagecoaches used it to come from Shreveport to Marshall and points west. It is a popular place for horseback riders and walkers. |

Lindsey's Store |
Scottsville Plantation Cemetery and T.C Lindsey's General Store in Jonesville. T.C. Lindsey and Company, celebrated its 150th birthday in 1997. It has been the location of half a dozen movies. Except for the soft drink machine in one corner, it looks about the way it did in the days of mule-drawn wagons bringing cotton to the nearby gin - the last one in East Texas. It is part museum, and part country grocery - one of the few places in East Texas where you can buy bonnets and cheddar cheese cut from a hoop with an antique wire slicer. |
