Honey Grove, Texas

Honey Grove is an early settlement dating from the Republic of Texas. Legend says when first coming to Texas, David Crockett camped here and later wrote to his friend, Samuel Erwin, describing the beautiful "honey grove." Erwin settled here in 1842 and named the town.

Drive-by tour maps of the city's many restored Victorian homes is available at the library. St. Mark's Episcopal Church, built in 1883 is worth a look.
