Sulphur Springs Voyage Tips and guide

You can check the original Wikivoyage article Here

    Sulphur Springs was founded in 1854, though it was then known as "Bright Star", and is in the Blackland Prairie region of Texas. Though the springs that brought about the name have more or less vanished, it is now known as "The Dairy Capital of Texas", with a museum cultured to that very point, even if the dairy industry has waned a bit around here in the early 21st century.

    • 3 Hopkins County Courthouse, 118 Church St, +1 903 438-4006. Dates to 1894 with a Romanesque Revival design. The adjoining town square is also worth a look not only because of the shops and attractive design, but because it has some very unique public restrooms made of reflective glass.
