Unexpected Elegance
The crown jewel of Weatherford is the breathtaking Parker County Courthouse. Located in the geographical center of the county, this Second Empire Style Courthouse is the heart of downtown and the entire community.
Historic shops are located around the downtown area. Some reveal they had served other purposes at the turn of the century—some were saloons and even “cat-houses!” Visitors can find an array of items to purchase in the unique shops located downtown.
Another of Weatherford’s greatest treasures is the abundance of historic homes and buildings. More than 60 Queen Anne, Victorian and other architecturally significant homes built at the turn of the 20th century sit along the tree-lined avenues where horse-drawn carriages once carried the pillars of the community.
Every Christmas, the Parker County Heritage Society arranges the Candlelight Tour of Homes that give attendees a rare opportunity to see the inside of many restored homes.
