Description
We called this photo "Main Street Christmas" because even though, it was taken in downtown Kilgore, Texas, it could easily represent many towns and main streets across America. It shows the pride we feel for the towns we live in and the wonderful spirit of Christmas that fills us at this time of the year.
The difference in this photo, of course, are the giant, lighted oil derricks looming over the "World's Richest Acre Park" and towering over the buildings. Those derricks also won the city the title by the Texas Legislature of "The City of Stars." The stars that top the sixty oil derricks throughout the city are lighted during the holiday season.
Kilgore, with a population of over 12,000 people is also a "Texas Main Street City." The Texas Main Street Program of the Texas Historical Commission works to bring downtown revitalization to towns across the state.
