Marshall Texas

Located just a short trip east of Tyler is Marshall, the county seat of Harrison County.

We've been going to Marshall for literally decades. We frequented Marshall Pottery back in the 1970s, and are still buying their clay pots and other products on a regular basis! Many people think of New Orleans when they hear "Elysian Fields" ... we know it as the exit where Marshall Pottery is located!

Founded in 1841, Marshall is a major city in the East Texas economy, and a larger supporter of the arts community and historical preservation. The historic T&P Railway depot and museum is a major tourist attraction as are many other historical sites that showcase Marshall's long and varied history.

Marshall is located on historic U.S. Highway 80 and U.S. Highway 59 in addition to Interstate Highway I-20. Its economy is strong and diverse, and the oil and gas industry continues to play a major role in economic development.

Marshall is known for its "Wonderland of Lights," one of the largest light festivals in the country when lit with thousands of lights during the Christmas season.
