Description
By Lynn Sprowl
Late 19th Century Waxahachie prosperity is apparent all around town. The large number of late Nineteenth Century Victorian-style homes and buildings remaining today has given Waxahachie the title of "The Gingerbread City". In fact, the town of Waxahachie has about 20% of all the buildings listed in the National Register of Historic Places in Texas.
The vintage Victorian-style homes combined with a picture perfect courthouse square has the perfect backdrop for several Hollywood movies. Film footage for the 1967 classic Bonnie and Clyde" and the Academy Award winning "Tender Mercies" were both shot on location. I found a total of 75 movies with a backdrop of Waxahachie.
