Nacogdoches, TX

united states

Nacogdoches sits in East Texas's pine forests, about 140 miles from both Dallas and Houston via US 59. This college town around Stephen F. Austin State University lies at the crossroads of several state highways, making it a natural stopping point between major cities. The humid climate and forested setting create a landscape unlike most of Texas. Downtown's Main Street features antique shops in restored 19th-century buildings, including the 1859 Old University Building.
