Jefferson Texas

If you're looking for a great place to take your significant other this holiday season, you can't go wrong by taking a short drive to historic Jefferson, Texas. The 30th Annual Candlelight Tour of Homes presented by the Historic Jefferson Foundation runs Dec. 1 and Dec. 6 - 8.

Excelsior House is the oldest hotel in East Texas according to the National Register of Historic Places. Since it opened in the 1850s, it has welcomed some of history’s biggest names through its doors: Ulysses S. Grant, Oscar Wilde, Rutherford B. Hayes and Lady Bird Johnson. They all checked in. But does every guest who visits ultimately check out?

Before I even visited Jefferson, I heard strange reports about what some call the most haunted town in Texas. Many of the ghost stories I heard, however, originate at one of the town’s oldest structures, the Jefferson Hotel.

Are you afraid of the dark? Do you sleep with the light on for fear of what might be lurking in the dark? Well, Kicker 102.5 wants to make you shiver and scream this Halloween season.

This past weekend my wife and I decided we wanted to get out of town for a night. We had no desire to take a long trip, we weren't interested in trying our luck at the slots in Shreveport or fighting traffic in Dallas, we just wanted to relax.
