Visit Jefferson and return to that time. Glide peacefully along on an open-air riverboat. Ride on a steam engine train which played a significant role in Jefferson's history. Relax in a carriage ride. Stroll through museums. Spend a memorable evening in an historic hotel or one of the many elegant bed & breakfasts. Jefferson is known as the Bed & Breakfast Capitol of Texas.
