Not many places in the country allow you to be in two states at the same time. The Texarkana Post Office & Federal Courthouse is one of those places as it sits right on the state line. Take advantage of this unique photo opportunity! Texarkana may be a bit of a drive to the nearest beach, but you can still catch some waves and soak in some rays at Holiday Springs Water Park. This oasis has everything to keep you busy for hours no matter your mood. The water slides and wave pool are perfect for the hyper ones while the lazy river and cabanas are there for anybody looking to relax. But if you are hoping to stay dry and still take advantage of a beautiful day, the New Haven Golf Club is a great option. See if you can beat par 71 as you dodge the sand bunkers and watch the landscapes change throughout the course. Then unwind and celebrate a great game at the New Haven Bar and Grille.
Get a delicious taste of the area at the Gateway Farmers Market. Stock up on fresh produce grown nearby, baked goods and jellies made with love and unique crafts not found anywhere else. The Four States Auto Museum celebrates the history of the automobile and is a must-see for any enthusiast. Every automobile has been beautifully restored to its full glory so it can be fully appreciated regardless of age. Don’t miss the unique collections of license plates, spark plugs and hood ornaments also on display. If you are hoping to see some automobiles in live action, head to the 67 Texarkana Speedway. This is the place to watch local drivers go head to head as they circle around a quarter mile dirt track, but see if you can catch the occasional outdoor concert.
