Meridian

Elevation : 791
Population : 1,415

Bosque County, just 70 miles southwest of Dallas and due west of Lake Whitney, marks the edge of the Hill Country with its scenic valley walls that surround the community. The town was established on July 4, 1854 in a log cabin, and today serves as the retail center for the surrounding agricultural activities. With the popular Meridian State Park, Lake Whitney, and pleasant Bosque Valley Golf Club nearby, Meridian is a great place to get away for the weekend.

Notes
Two viable dining options in Meridian – just of the square is Mary’s, where you can get a mean burger, and the Tex-Mex El Jardin is always delicious. Tour the countryside and view the limestone bluffs on the way to lunch in Clifton, where a sausage sandwich from Bunkhouse Bar-B-Que will tide you over while you take in the famous Western art at the Bosque Conservatory. Back in Meridian, check out the limestone courthouse that houses the Word family, one of the oldest small-town political dynasties in Texas. Up northwest near Lake Whitney is the town of Lakeside Village, TX, which sports the roadhouse-café called Holly’s, known for chicken-fried steak, cheap cold beers, and juke-box pool hall fun. Also consider the Lampman’s Texaco for provisions and supplies, because while you’re there you can pick up a juicy home-style burger with fries to-go.
