More Info




The Outlaw Trails Historical Museum is a collection of relics and story telling exhibits pertaining to the local area from past years gone by. Designed to entertain and educate everyone from two to ninety two! How can that be? To begin with as you enter the museum there is an1800's era toy exhibit to delight young ones. Followed by the Katy Railroad Forms Cabinet, Morse-Code machine, odd items found under the floor boards and many hard-to-identify items used in Pioneer Days. But don't worry, you will find ample explanations written by historian Ivert Mayhugh or catch him in person and get a personal tour. Sherman is not the only major focus in the museum but features many outstanding small towns, people, special buildings, disasters and great events, all a part of keeping history alive and not forgotten. People are the pride and joy of our past history and in fact you might find some of your relatives mentioned here. There were Outlaws like Frank and Jesse James roaming the area and causing mischief. Highlights also include President Teddy Roosevelts visit to the area on April 5,1905. See examples of early typewriters, televisions, computers, a school room and of course funeral memorabilia since that was the primary use of the building in the 1890's. Located on the 3rd floor of A Touch of Class Antique Mall in Downtown Sherman across from the Grayson County Courthouse. Please note that there is no elevator and you must take stairs to visit. The building is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark and Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. It would an honor to share a "little bit of history" with you and hope you would spend a "little bit of time" enjoying Historic Downtown Sherman.

GOOD. Water stained; 75 degrees; 1.76 feet above pool. Striped bass fishing is good fishing live bait along ledges and flats in 25-50 feet of water watching for schooling fish and birds working. Swimbaits and slabs are working along the banks early in the morning as well. Crappie are slow on jigs and minnows fishing brush piles in 15-25 feet of water. Fish are roaming near creeks and coves chasing small shad. Bass are slow on topwaters early along the bluffs and soft plastics in the backs of the coves midday. Fish off the banks in 10-15 feet of water midday using electronics to see active fish and bait. Catfishing is great using cut shad and punch bait in 10-20 feet of water on humps near the dam and down the bluffs. Small channel catfish and blue catfish are filling the coolers. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Stripers are good with slabs fishing under the smaller topwater fish in 30-60 feet of water in the middle of the lake. Some anglers are landing catches with live bait and trolling. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
