Taylor

Established by the railroad in the late 1800s, Taylor quickly became a busy shipping point for cattle, grain and cotton. Today, visitors are attracted to Taylor's bustling historic downtown area filled with distinctive shops and authentic barbecue joints. The community also features a restored 1887 home that served as the birthplace of Texas' youngest governor, Dan Moody. The home, now the Moody Museum, is dedicated to preserving the life of this successful Taylor native.
