Throwback Thursday - Dennison, Texas

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!

Patricia,  There is something about the older "downtown" feel that speaks of simpler times ... when life seemed so much easier ... quieter ... and more enjoyable. I certainly do enjoy the photos.

HI Patricia Feager - I can just imagine strolling down Main Street Dennison and being transported to another day not so long ago.  Looks like lots of photo opportunities in Dennison.

Hi Patricia... I am totally in tune with what Kathleen Daniels said about these pictures. When I saw them all I could think was I want to live there. Patsy Cline is one of my all-time favorites, to boot.

Patricia Dennison, TX sounds like my kind of town.  I do not drink much but I do like a good glass of wine with a special meal.

The character of the town can be found in its older buildings.  I did not know that Eisenhower was a Texas lad, I thought his roots were in PA

Nice scenes, Patricia!  I find it interesting that so many of the older theaters around the country have the name, "Rialto."

Patricia- love the pictures!  One of my favorite things to do is to drive to the main street of whatever town we're visiting.  So many times all we see the the highway or freeway and see nothing of the town itself!!

I loved the photo tour of Dennison.  It looks like some neat places to visit.  Love the Candy store building, used to have one in Mineral wells almost exactly like that one.  It is so pretty.

Patricia, these walks through small towns are some of THE BEST. They get forgotten by many, and so this is a photojournal that will be a part of history for all to see thanks to you. I happen to love driving through little towns and getting a feel for what's important to the locals. Myrl Jeffcoat has done that for me in the past...and I always enjoy it.
