Jefferson Texas is a destination like no other. It truly is "a step back in time", attested by the motto plastered on a banner running across the top of their official website. Just 68 miles from Shreveport, (closer if you take I-20 route), it's a great option for a day trip. This trip will take riders along back roads through the tiny towns of Longwood and Karnack, to the final destination of Jefferson. In Jefferson, opportunities abound, like a visit to the General Store for ice cream or fudge, a stroll along the cobblestone streets, a peek inside a large warehouse full of antiques or inside the small stores full of delightful, unique items.

The Old Post Office, Jefferson, TX (Wikipedia)
One can visit a Civil War Museum, the old post office - Jefferson's most recognized landmark, ride a horse drawn carriage or travel on a steam engine train, investigate the history of the ghosts who inhabit this town, or visit Scarlet O'Hardy's Gone With the Wind museum. And, certainly a stop at Auntie Skinner's, a biker friendly establishment is in order. As part of the "Holiday Trail of Lights", there will certainly be plenty of holiday decorations and this trip will provide an opportunity to get in the "holiday spirit".
