Crossroads Coffeehouse & Music Co - Winnsboro, TX
This place is equal parts COFFEEHOUSE (serving up a soda-shop-style menu), MUSIC STORE (providing a rare-to-these-parts source of new-to-vintage instruments and music supplies), and LIVE MUSIC VENUE (welcoming regional and national touring artists). The Crossroads stage, which resembles the front porch of a Mississippi Delta farmhouse, serves up a great diversity of live music most every Friday and Saturday night. Just think 100-year-old former hardware store turned music sanctuary, and that pretty much describes Crossroads' vibe. http://www.crossroadsmusiccompany.com

Pine Mills Pottery is located in the woodlands of Northeast Texas. Work created is primarily wood-fired stoneware, both thrown and constructed from slabs. Visitors are welcome to visit the studio where work is displayed in the pottery and showroom located just minutes from 15 Acres Retreat. www.PineMills.com
