Jefferson is a serene but vivacious historic town, a genuine artifact of the thriving riverport town it once was. It is home to more state registered historic structures than anywhere else in Texas, many of which are also listed on The National Registry of Historic Places. For more than 60 years, Jefferson has been best known for its annual Pilgrimage event, hosted by The Jessie Allen Wise Garden Club, featuring a revolving yearly selection of beautifully restored and period furnished mid-nineteenth century homes, which remain as authentic and loving tributes to the city's past. Jefferson is truly, The Queen of the Bayou and a unique and special treasure to be shared, discovered and explored.
