Celebrating Waxahachie’s Historic Places
What historic place in Waxahachie means the most to you? In 2022, Historic Waxahachie, Inc. (HWI) held a program called “Saving Places Waxahachie,” to give our community the opportunity to share why a historic place at least 50 years old is important to them. The entries have been a wonderful sampling of the many historic places in Waxahachie. Every one of these places has a story, and we asked people to share theirs…Now we are sharing them with you.
The places and their stories that have been shared thus far have ranged from a grandmother’s house to the Waxahachie City Cemetery, and the stories highlight how our historic places add meaning to our lives. They also show us the value of preserving these places. Through the stories shared in this project, we:
Every story shared helps reinforce the importance of protecting Waxahachie’s past for future generations.
In 2023, Adam Graves, along with others contributing photos, curated a slideshow featuring 187 images of Waxahachie’s historic buildings and places. This collection serves as a visual love letter to our city’s architectural legacy.
