About Tyler
The East Texas Piney Woods, legendary for the oil discovered there in the first half of the 19th century, offers diverse ecosystems, ranging from dense woodlands to marshy wetlands. Indeed, the Piney Woods is a veritable treasure-trove for hunters, fishermen and nature enthusiasts. Happily, the city of Tyler finds itself located in the heart of this region. The self-proclaimed "Rose Capital of the United States," Tyler is nothing short of colorful, especially during autumn, when thousands upon thousands make their way to the city for the annual Texas Rose Festival. The downtown area, site of several yearly celebrations, has a style all its own with its neat little boutiques, antique shops and cafes. Outside of the city proper, travelers find plenty to occupy their time, whether it's visiting sites like the Rose Center and the Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge or enjoying the great outdoors at Tyler State Park, which offers everything from canoeing and swimming to hiking and bird-watching.

"And up through the ground came a bubblin' crude!" The Texas version of this rags-to-riches tale took place in the town of New London back in 1900, when a poor farmer discovered oil on his 100-acre parcel and forever changed the fortunes of his family. The family manor, now Mansion on the Hill Restaurant and Club on Old Henderson Highway, was designed by his daughter, Malisa, who was inspired by architectural styles she saw in Europe.
