Sherman, Texas
Located in the
Prairies and Lakes
region, the town of Sherman, Texas is in
Grayson
county.
Sherman has a rich and diverse history that includes a colorful tapestry of individuals and institutions. Monikers have included 'Helldorado on the Cross Timbers' in the 1850's when the area was a bit on the wild side to 'The Athens of Texas', at the turn of the century due to the numerous upper level educational facilities and the cultural offerings such as Kidd-Key College and the Sherman Opera House.
There's always something going on in Sherman. Whether it's another fantastic live theatrical performance or a national touring concert violinist - a festival dedicated to our historic (although somewhat less than law-abiding) past or a free concert in the park. Our calendar of events is complete with upcoming events.
