Historic Homes Driving Tour - Palestine Texas

One of the many fun things that the Day Tripper Divas did on the driving trip to Palestine, was a self guided tour of the historic homes section of Palestine, Texas.   We did not have a map just a general idea of where the homes were located.   We took one street, then turned, came back on another street, then took another one.  

We saw large azaleas bushes just losing their blooms, iris in different colors and the most magnificent magnolia trees.  








Some of the houses could use some time and attention, some were in the process of being updated and a couple  were in great condition.  One of the updated houses had been turned into a Bed and Breakfast.   It was painted a beautiful shade of blue and had a large yard.  It looked like an inviting place to spend a night or two in Palestine.

We enjoyed doing this so much on our own.  It was fun to see all these magnificent homes.
