WELCOME TO

Walker County

Welcome to Walker County— a place where Texas history, natural beauty, and warm hospitality come together to offer you a truly memorable experience.

Nestled in the heart of East Texas, Walker County is proud to be home to the historic city of Huntsville, Sam Houston State University, and the legacy of General Sam Houston himself. Whether you’ re here to explore our beautiful state parks and trails, dive into our rich heritage, or simply enjoy the charm of small-town life, we are delighted to have you with us.
Take a stroll through the downtown square, visit the Sam Houston Memorial Museum, and don’ t miss the towering Sam Houston Statue— one of the tallest statues of an American hero in the world. Outdoor lovers can find peace and adventure in the scenic Sam Houston National Forest, where hiking, camping, and fishing await.
Walker County isn’ t just a destination— it’ s a community. From our local shops and restaurants to our welcoming residents, we hope you feel right at home.
Enjoy your stay, and we hope you’ ll come back soon.
Warm regards,

Colt Christian
County Judge and family
