Ellis County holds a unique position on the Texas map, being just south of Dallas (Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas) and Tarrant counties. The hustle and bustle of the neighboring big cities of Dallas and Fort Worth falls away and a slower pace of life takes over as Ellis County appears in the windshield. Not only does Ellis County have beautiful farmland, rolling hills and lots of trees, the county is home to some really nice folks with interesting stories to tell amid an area rich with historic details.

Ellis County, an ideal place to live, is also a very unique place to visit. Many come for a day or a week and find themselves wanting to stay after experiencing everything Ellis County has to offer.

Rockin’ Around the Clock at Ed Walker’s Drive-In

As the iconic Ed Walker’s sign towers above Towson Avenue, splashes of red saturate both the inside and outside of this flashback from the fifties, dandy little diner. Coca-cola icons and Coke machines flirt with your sense of nostalgia, while red vinyl covered booth seats and chairs embellish a black and white checkered floor.

Walking the Woods

Written by Mary A. Flowers |

I was blessed to have spent a couple of years as a child living on a beautiful farm south of Weatherford, Texas. It had everything a child of the 1950's would ever want. There were fields, some dense woods, and a creek that ran all the way along the back of our property. I have forgotten how much acreage my family owned, but as an adult, it seemed far less than it did when I was young.

An Invisble Bond

Written by Mary A. Flowers |

Just as mothers and sons share a special bond, so too do fathers and daughters. It was that way with my Dad and me. My Dad loved to tell of coming home from work late at night when I was a baby. When he opened the door to the apartment, there I would be, standing in my baby bed, waiting for him. If he looked my way and smiled, I would grin from ear to ear and bob up and down until he would come pick me up.
