Since the early 1800's, Jefferson has been building an intriguing history that can be experienced today. We will be staying at the Steam Boat Inn, a little slice of New Orleans in Texas at $124 per person for both nights (double occupancy). On Friday we will visit Uncertain Texas on the Caddo Lake to enjoy a tour of the bayou for $20/person. Saturday afternoon will see us on a hissing, whistle blowing, pistons chugging Old Engine #7 of the Historic Jefferson Railroad as we take us a scenic trip along the Big Cypress Bayou for $15/person (and we may see alligators along the way.)
The rest of your time could be filled with a Jefferson Historical Museum visit, or the Scarlett O’Hardy’s Gone with the Wind Museum, the Jefferson Carnegie Library, the historic Jefferson Ghost Walk, the Vintage Vehicles Car Museum, antique shopping and other attractions. Some have minimal fees and we will supply brochures with more details and a map. Plus, of course, we must keep up our reputation, so we will sample several interesting restaurants during our stay.
Plans are to either carpool or else meet at the Steam Boat Inn about 4 pm on Thursday, March 31. Cost will be $35 per member for the two excursions and $39 for nonmember. Please register no later than March 15 as we are limited to 12. Lodging must be secured individually by calling the Steam Boat Inn at 903-926-7741 and providing your credit card info. Tell them you are with the TIAA group.
