Corsicana �����������������������

We invite you to visit Corsicana and experience our motto yourself. But what does “Where Country Meets Culture” really mean?

We believe that in Corsicana, you get the best of both worlds: arts and entertainment unparalleled in scope other than in the big metroplexes, along with food, shopping, and recreation in the relaxed setting of a town that is just right in size to offer everything without being hectic or rushed.

Corsicana and the surrounding area offer a multitude of recreational opportunities to enjoy. There are 12 parks that cover approximately 600 acres, three lakes including Richland Chambers, the third largest lake in Texas; two golf courses; and 49 tennis courts. Entertainment venues cover everything from movies to music, including The Palace Theatre, The Warehouse Living Arts Center and an outdoor amphitheatre for concerts.

A walk through downtown Corsicana is a walk through history. The classic features of its original brick streets blend in with new attractions of neighborhood restaurants, entertainment, antique shopping and loft apartment living, creating a community feel all its own. With room to expand, new businesses can take advantage of the vibrant downtown activity and current development incentives.

Designated an official Texas Main Street City in 1985, the Corsicana Main Street Program works to assist in the revitalization of the downtown area using historic preservation and economic development strategies.
