Waskom Things to Do

Waskom is located very close to several lakes, which makes it an ideal location for birdwatching. At our house, we have several bird houses built for Purple Martins, which eat mosquitoes. We also have a nice bay window which overlooks some goldfinch feeders, loaded with thistle, so we are able to see a large variety of small birds.

Waskom is known to many as the first friendly town in Texas, and therefore it is only logical that the official Texas welcome is done here.
