Carthage

Among the cities of East Texas, Carthage stands out as the home of the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame and the Tex Ritter Museum. Set in the Piney Woods region, it is the county seat of Panola County and has long been shaped by the timber and energy industries that helped develop much of eastern Texas. Country-music history is central to the city’s identity: singer Jim Reeves was born in the area, while the museum preserves the legacy of Tex Ritter, the singer and film star associated with Panola County. Carthage provides a useful introduction to the rural, wooded character of Texas east of the major metropolitan corridors.
