Ennis Attractions:

Lake Bardwell is a reservoir managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers located 5 miles south of Ennis. It is a flood-control reservoir in the Trinity River Basin and a conservation pool in the Trinity Valley Authority. Surrounding the lake is a park system consisting of Big Mustang Creek Park, Little Mustang Creek Park, High View Park, Love Park, Mott Park, and Highview Marina, all of which offer boat ramps. The lake and parks offer hiking, horseback riding, camping, fishing, and sport boating opportunities.

The Galaxy drive-in movie theatre opened in 2004 and draws visitors from around the area, and is most notable for being one of only two drive-in theaters operating in the DFW Metroplex.

Ennis is home to the Texas Motorplex, a quarter-mile drag racing facility built in 1986 by former funny car driver Billy Meyer. It annually hosts the NHRA O'Reilly Fall Nationals each September, when hundreds of professional and amateur drag racers compete for over $2 million in prize money.

The Ennis Railroad and Cultural Heritage Museum is housed in the former Van Noy restaurant building. The museum's collections include: railroad and cultural memorabilia including items related to the Houston and Central Texas Railroad; a large diorama of the old engine roundhouse that once existed just north of the museums location; a large collection of rare china; and a MKT caboose.

The Kachina Prairie is a city park preserving one of the last remaining examples of untouched Texas blackland prairie. The first Ennis bluebonnet trail was marked through this area in 1938.

Ennis is like a slice of Okie-land stuck in Texas.

Little known fact - Ennis has the highest percent of short buses per residents and that does not even take into account the one short bus that was retired when Derek graduated school (heck, the bus was in service for all the 20 years it took him to get through public school).

Ennis is becoming big league. Chic-FIL-A and a Buccees.

Ennis High School, built in 1916, operated from this location until 1982. Today, it serves as the school district's alternative education center.

It was the Jr. High after the high school was built. I dominated those halls from 6-8th grade. It is used as the alt ed center now after the new Jr. High was built. The more you know.
