DENNISON, TX
If the noise of the city bothers you and you want to skip back in time, I recommend the city of Dennison. There the traffic is light and the community thrives at a slower pace. Dennison, located about 75 miles north of Dallas was founded in 1872. The most famous person born there was President Dwight D Eisenhower on October 14, 1890. In close proximity to the home where he was born was the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad and the Red River.
You may be surprised to learn wine grapes grow well in Texas. As a matter of fact, I have participated in many “Blessings of the Vines,” offered by the Catholic Church in the Metropex.The priest blesses the grapevines and anyone can participate in the annual ceremony. People owe a debt of gratitude to a horticulturist from Dennison, TX who figured out a way to produce phylloxera resistant vines which is the reason why grape vines in Europe were destroyed in the 19th Century. I hope you enjoy my photo journal walk through Dennison.
I hope you enjoyed my photo journal walk through the streets of Main Street in Dennison. You never know what you can learn if you don't slow down and take a walk in some old historic community. Life is good, no matter how old you are, you're never too old to get out and get some exercise and learn something new!
