Henderson’s downtown area is a National Historic Register District that features preserved buildings and a town square that was constructed in 1843. The downtown district is also home to several antique shops, restaurants, and the Henderson Depot Museum complex. Last but not least, Henderson is the site of the T.J. Walling log cabin, one of the oldest log structures in all of Texas.

Two of the most prominent events that the city holds each year are the Heritage Syrup Festival and the East Texas Sacred Harp Convention.
