Not exactly local. If you want a day trip, probably 2 1/2 to 3 hours away, 5550 FM 2495. Athens Tx.https://tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/
They have a Hall of Fame that you go in and pick a profile, and a short video plays about this person and their accomplishments pertaining to fishing. My Dad, Paul Hinton is in their Hall of Fame! He had organized "Get Hooked on Fishing not Drugs" event each year for years here on Toledo Bend. The schools would have kids participate in making posters. Guides and beauty queens and sport celebrities would come down and help kids fish. The museum has all the supplies for kids to fish there. You can learn about and see all the fish up close and personal. If your into fishing, especially if you have a kid, this could be a fun informated trip. You can even pack ya a lunch and eat on the grounds there.

Actually posting for their laundromat. Gotta be a jack of all trades in a little town, LOL. Grab a bite while getting your clothes clean. My Mom's roommate loves their Nachos. They offer breakfast, and hamburgers, etc. Good prices. Can also pick up a fishing license here. Go figure. Shows 5:30AM to 10PM... the 10PM surprises me. I thought everything rolled up the carpet at 5PM.

Chris is very involved with community work. Nice wine. Even offers vineyard tours with advance booking. If you go I think you will make a memory and not just have a wine tasting!
