Breakfast is a two-course homemade meal and is well worth it! Ennis itself does not have all that much to do (apart from the Bluebonnet festival in April).

My fiancée and myself stayed in the Laura Camille room, which has its own attached reading room and private bathroom.

Breakfast was great and an added treat of sitting with the hosts and hearing about their past and stories. Be sure and ask Sam to see his personal train sets and miniature elaborate town the trains go through in their 3rd floor attic. One of the neatest surprises of the whole trip! Make sure and ask them about the Italian place they recommended for dinner. One of the best chicken alfredo I've ever had (yes in Ennis, TX). Will be back and highly recommended!

I did not spend much time here on a Sunday morning other than looking for markers and other interesting sites. I did find some. The city was named for Texas Governor Richard B. Hubbard (1832-1901) who was the 16th Governor of Texas (1876-1879). Yes, he was a supporter of Southern secession and commanded a battalion that fought on the side of the Confederacy. The city was organized in 1881 when the railroads were built through this section of the state and grew following the discovery of mineral water here in 1895. The marker in front of city hall reads, "Founded 1881, as a shipping center and supply point on the St. Louis and Southwestern Railway. Named for Richard B. Hubbard (1832-1901), colonel in the 22nd Texas Infantry during the Civil War; Texas Governor 1876-1879; United States Minister to Japan 1885-1889. Banking and market town. Has mineral waters." It is marker number 2588 and it was erected in 1964 by the State Historical Survey Committee. [Review 1094 of 2024 - 660 in Texas - 22121 overall]

Sadly, this once thriving town is in a bit of a decline. Many of the businesses on Main Street have gone away and the few that remain are struggling to find more ways to get people to stop and shop.

The marker reads, "First public use of natural gas began in Texas in 1902, from transmission lines on this street, serving local homes and businesses. These early lines were forerunners of mains that now transport Texas gas to three-fourths of the United States and Mexico. "Other natural gas industry pioneer achievements in Navarro County were the first use of meters, in 1905 at Chatfield (12 mi. NE), and first use of gas in pumping oil wells in the Corsicana field, 1906. "Developers of Navarro fields expanded to Clay County, and in 1907 were supplying natural gas to Henrietta and Wichita Falls; Fort Worth and Dallas were furnished service in 1909-1910. By 1918 new fields supplied Laredo, San Antonio, Waco. Today Texas is spanned by over 83,000 miles of gas pipelines. "A 1918 discovery opened the Amarillo field, soon recognized as the world's foremost gas field -- and point of beginning, during the 1920s, of the first interstate natural gas pipelines. "Texas now has 27 pipeline companies exporting gas. Annual production rate is nearly eight trillion cubic feet. A number of wells deliver more than 20 million cubic feet per day. Texas has 42.3 per cent of proven United States natural gas reserves." The marker was erected in 1967 by the State Historical Survey Committee. It is a little faded and could definitely use a refresh. It is marker number 7196. [Review 804 of 2024 - 559 in Texas - 21835 overall]
