    Palestine hosts one of the largest celebrations of the Dogwood trees during March and April. The trees can grow as tall as 40ft and is a native which is widespread throughout East Texas. The annual Dogwood Trails include many miles of scenic blooming trails in and around the Palestine area. During this time there is an arts and crafts fair, free entertainments, a parade and fishing tournament. There is also a battle re-enactment and antique and classic car show and chili and bbq cook-off. The Texas State Railroad also provides train excursions through the magnificent trails of the Dogwoods during the last two weekends of March and first weekend of April.

    Apparently the story goes that in the courthouse, a baby fell out of it's mothers hands and died. When people are alone in the courthouse they have said that you can hear a baby crying.

    The nations longest and skinniest state park is the Texas State Railroad which is over 25 miles long and the width of the railway right-of-way wide.
