With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Jefferson, 16 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights beginning with Gone With the Wind Museum, Freeman Plantation and Jefferson Historical Museum. Located 35 miles away, Texarkana is another popular choice. If you visit, be sure to check out Central Mall, Holiday Springs Water Park and Texarkana Farmers’ Market.
