(Seguin) — The city of Seguin and the city of Gonzales have both landed on World Atlas’ list of the 10 most breathtaking towns in Texas.
According to the website which contains not only maps but informative stories about destinations worldwide describe Seguin and its neighbor as standing alongside some of the state’s most popular small-town destinations.
Seguin earned praise for the Sebastopol House Historic Site, a restored 1856 lime-crete mansion.
World Atlas wrote, “Tour this rare structure to discover the lost art that perfectly blends chemistry and construction.” The site also noted the town’s “World’s Largest Pecan” at the Guadalupe County Courthouse and though it mentioned the recent closure of ZDT’s Amusement Park, it touted it for giving “families and solo travelers alike an adrenaline rush.”
Gonzales was celebrated for its proximity to Palmetto State Park, called “a botanical wonderland” and “the soul of this charming town.” World Atlas added, “These grounds are alive with plants, wildlife, and rushing rivers and creeks.” The Gonzales Memorial Museum and the historic County Jail Museum also stood out as attractions.
Other Texas towns on the list included Fredericksburg, Wimberley, Marfa, Jefferson, Clifton, Ennis, and Waxahachie.
