Stop awhile. Talk awhile.

 
 

Ever Since the days of the Great Western Trail Drive, Vernon has been the place to stop and refresh yourself along the way. Today, Vernon is still the perfect place to stop for a taste of history and some friendly conversation with authentic Texans.

Vernon has been the host of the Santa Rosa Round-up for over 60 years, it is the birthplace of rock legend Roy Orbison, and the site of the Doan's May picnic, the oldest picnic in Texas.

Vernon gives you a taste of the real Texas and offers a friendly smile and a great place to just stop and relax a bit.

Next time you are headed down 287 pull off when you see the sign to Vernon. We are two hours from Fort Worth, three hours from Dallas and spittin' distance of Wichita Falls. So stop awhile and experience a great Texas town--Even if you only stay the day your memories will last forever.
