City/town information
Downtown Denison is a fun place to shop, go antiquing or junking, etc. We love fact that most of the date back to the late 1800's into the early 1900's, and in several you will find original floors, and walls made of brick. Occasionally there are shows at the old Rialto theatre, concerts in the park, festivals, and events.
