Traveling east on I-30, take a left after Greenville and you’ll be heading up Texas 50 to the college town of Commerce. “Cow Hill” was established in the 1870s on the fertile prairies between the Middle and South Sulphur rivers, and was named the “Bois d’Arc Capital of Texas” because of its location in the middle of a thick grove of those trees. Here you can reserve B&B accommodations, mosey around the square for shops and antiques, and play some golf on their course that overlooks nearby Cooper Lake.

• Sand Hills Golf & Country Club

Notes
The town square, affectionately known as The Square, is the hub of activity, featuring a great little coffee shop for breakfast, antique shops for piddling around, and restaurants to keep you fed. Look for the Cow Hill Express (555-555-5555) and order yourself a slug of Cow Hill cappuccino. Commerce celebrates the Bois d’Arc Bash every September, which honors the second-largest bois d’arc tree in Texas. Ask for directions to the tree, known locally as “Max.” There’s a recently refurbished local motel for lodging.
