Most
people have never heard of it… yet those who have, believe it is a
private paradise tucked away among the East Texas landscape. It is considered to
be the best kept secret in East Texas. Mrs. Lee’s Garden is a 816-acre tract of
land that is drastically transformation every February and March. Each spring
the acreage becomes a golden haven of beauty. Millions of golden daffodils,
scattered over approximately 28 acres, begin to bloom. Visitors can see
all the beauty by traveling along a four-mile trail that meanders around two
lakes, between wooded valleys, and around a replica pioneer log cabin. It is a
sight that leaves visitors in absolute awe.
918-acre farm is a lesson of history, a sermon on the wonders of God’s nature
and much beauty for people to see. Due to the hard work, patience and love
of Mrs. Lee, for her God, her country and her fellowman, to be able to add to
the beauty of nature for all to enjoy as much as she did.
The garden opens, depending on Mother Nature, around the middle of February
and remains open through March or until the daffodils are no
longer in bloom. The garden’s ability to open depends upon two things:
-
Road conditions-
it is closed when the roads are wet. -
The garden’s future ability to
remain open depends upon the number of people who visit and register their
attendance.
this time seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.. For Road Conditions and predicted
blooming schedule, contact the Mrs. Lee’s Daffodil Gardens directly at

on the FIRST MONDAY of each month. This was the day the Judge held
court. People from the area came to town on that day to conduct their
business, stock their pantries and sit in on court proceedings … and
watch a few “hangings”. History relates one incident where a man was
hung for stealing his partner’s wagon of goods for trading. He is buried
facing south (not east) in Hillcrest Cemetery by the First Monday
grounds.
Quite naturally, many also brought their own goods, produce and
livestock with them to sell or trade. This took place just off the west
side of the courthouse square. Most history versions include the trading
of wild hosrses, which were rounded up in the region and brought to
Canton to sell.
By 1965, FIRST MONDAY had outgrown the Town Square, It was then that
the City of Canton purchased six acres just two blocks north of the
courthouse. FIRST MONDAY was moved off the square.
Originally, FIRST MONDAY only “happened” on the first Monday of each
month. However, if you take a look NOW at the calendar, you will note
that Monday has been excluded.
Even though the event goes from Thursday – Sunday, the name is now and will forever be known as: FIRST MONDAY TRADE DAYS.
