Welcome to Lufkin! The hub of East Texas nestled in between the Piney Woods. This vibrant city embraces its cultural arts. So much so that it is becoming a designated Cultural Arts District.  

It’s one of the many reasons to love Lufkin. Downtown Lufkin tells a story in the street art, but the craftmanship goes a step further at The Museum of East Texas. This gallery that once was a church, embodies new life as a center for children’s crafts and a rotating exhibit for Texan creators. The original chapel still stands tall and hosts events for members of the community. 

The community is another reason to love Lufkin. It’s apparent when entering Standpipe Coffee. The cafe not only serves us a wide variety of coffees and lattes, but it’s also the heart of downtown where guests can relax and meet before starting off the day.  

While exploring downtown there’s no shortage of places to shop. Uptown Fashion House is a chic boutique bringing New York fashion to East Texas. 

Top off the trip at Manhattan Fine Dining, another Big Apple inspired restaurant. The eatery has been serving the good folks of Lufkin for over a decade! Choose a martini from a list of over 50 combinations. Or select a wine from around the world which would pair perfectly with a New York Strip served with potatoes that’s topped with a white wine garlic sauce. 

There are so many reasons why to #LoveLufkin! Make the trip to East Texas with YOLO TX.
