Local Attractions:
Overview
Bonham,  one of the most historic towns in Texas, was founded by Bailey Inglish in the first year of the Republic and later named for an Alamo hero. Bonham is located  on the Blackland Prairie (just south of the Red River) which was originally covered by Bois D'Arc trees. The residents used the wood to build a large  proportion of the Conestoga wagons (also known as Prairie Schooners) used to  settle the west. Come see the history!
