Jefferson's Charm

The Town of Jefferson, in northeast Texas, is on the Cypress Bayou, the source of ancient Caddo Lake, the only natural lake in Texas. And a special lake it is: WALT DISNEY made several movies here. Boat rides are available on the Bayou and at the Lake. Abundant resources and a verdant environment beckon. Jefferson was a major supply depot for the Confederate States. With abundant local iron ore, foundries helped equip the Confederacy during the Civil War. Afterwards, Yankee Soldiers occupied the town for 10 years, and exacted a price -- but the town survived and prospered throughout the steamboat era. Today, the town attracts visitors who appreciate history, romance, classic architecture, fine dining and a relaxing get-away.

Antebellum

Built in 1851, one of the oldest bed & breakfast inns in the south, the McKay House was recently restored and expanded. Through it all, the antebellum charm and genteel values are preserved.

Notable Guests

You will enjoy the same hospitality experienced by thousands of guests, including LADY BIRD JOHNSON, Alex Haley, Martin Jurow, Fabio, George Bush's staff and Congressmen.

Inspected and Approved

Inspections and approval by Mobil Travel Guide and Classic B&B Inns provide assurance of quality. The McKay House proudly displays a Texas Historic Medallion and a National Historic Marker.

History Abounds

Jefferson is considered to be the "Williamsburg of the Southwest". Regular steamboat passage to New Orleans made Jefferson the "Queen City of the Republic of Texas." In the McKay House and throughout Town, history still functions in pleasant ways.
