2017 Tyler Azalea Trails

The 58th Annual Azalea & Spring Flower Trail will be held March 24 – April 9, 2017, spanning three weekends. A highlight of each spring season in East Texas is the 10-mile long Tyler Azalea Trail guiding visitors through neighborhoods of quaint brick streets, historic homes, and residential gardens.

Featured along the trails is the Azalea National Historic District, established in 2003, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It comprises about 950 homes built in the first half of the 20th century, with a large concentration of structures from the 1930s when the oil boom had a huge economic impact on Tyler. While driving the trail is stunning, many visitors enjoy walking the area, especially the three adjacent homes between Lindsey and Dobbs: the Davis gardens at 902 S. College, the Pyron gardens at 212 W. Dobbs, and McGuire gardens at 922 S. College. These homes are part of Tyler’s Heritage Neighborhood No. 1, marked by a plaque on S. College.

The two trails officially begin at the Tyler Convention & Visitors Bureau, at 315 N. Broadway, and travel south. A good starting point is the corner of Houston Street and South Broadway Avenue.

Markers designate the routes that meander through the area streets for motorists. Actually, you can begin anywhere along the routes and not be disappointed. Parking is generously provided by the First Presbyterian Church, near the corner of Dobbs and South Broadway.  For a map of the trails, visit the website of the Tyler Convention & Visitors Bureau or their offices. http://www.visittyler.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/AzaleaTrail17.pdf                                                                                       The Trail is nationally recognized, and has been the subject of articles in publications such as Southern Living and  Texas  Highways.
