Corsicana
|
In 1894, Corsicana was the first city west of the Mississippi to discover oil. Now the city is better known as the Fruitcake Capital of the World. Established in 1896, the Collin Street Bakery ships 1.5 million of its Deluxe brand fruitcakes to every state and 190 foreign countries each year. History buffs relish the Gooch Library, with its collection of Native American artifacts, and music lovers enjoy the Lefty Frizzell Country Music Museum at Pioneer Village. Stargazers, don’t miss Cook Center and the largest planetarium dome in Texas.
