Jefferson, Texas is an historic city in northeastern Texas with many popular tourist sites, such as Jay Gould's railroad car, the Sterne Fountain and the House of the Four Seasons. There is also the natural beauty of the numerous bayous spread out around the edges of the city as well as opportunities for horseback riding, hot air balloon rides and canoeing on Caddo Lake . Even though it is a small East Texas town, there are a number of very good hotel options.

The Excelsior House

Housing travelers since the 1850's, this hotel is a tourist destination in itself. Its classical brick and timber facade has welcomed people such as Ulysses S. Grant and Oscar Wilde. Every one of its 15 historic rooms is uniquely decorated with rich antique wood furnishings and traditional design. Even if you decide not to stay here, you should check out the old-fashioned ballroom with its large French chandeliers and Oriental rugs as well as the manicured grounds of the property.
