Waxahachie (Images of America)
By local authors Kathryn E. Eriksen and Laurie J. Wilson, Waxahachie (Images of America) is a 128-page book filled with Waxahachie’s historic photos.
Focusing on the early years after the city’s founding in the mid-1800s and Waxahachie’s rise as a commercial town with an agriculture-based economy, the book looks at life through the images captured on film of Waxahachie’s streets, schools, churches and notable residents.
Available as a hardcover or paperback
Places in the Heart DVD
If you lived in Waxahachie in the mid-1980s, you surely remember when the film classic, Places in the Heart was produced, bringing a full major motion picture production crew to town and actors Sally Fields and John Malkovich.
The screenplay was written by Waxahachie native Robert Benson, and the movie takes viewers not only along a plot that tugs at the heart but also on a tour of Waxahachie and the surrounding area.
Available on DVD, Blu-Ray, and VHS tape (yeah, those are still around).
