We strive to assure the highest quality of life for those who choose to live, work, and play here, while protecting Wood County's economic well-being for current and future generations.
Once upon a time, a group of East Texans decided to have some fun.
They wanted to enjoy what Howard Rosser, a Winnsboro native and pioneer of Autumn Trails’ driving tour, would later describe as extraordinary beauty.
Remember in those old movies when an organization would put on a festival and the entire community would show up to eat, drink, laugh and reminisce together?
Yeah, the Hawkins Oil Festival is like that.
Being here, in this beautiful downtown with its laughing, smiling people, feels like home. It feels like being nostalgic for a time and a place many of us never lived in… it feels like the realization of the American dream.
