Welcome, and thank you for visiting Downtown Sherman online. Ours is a unique urban community located less than an hour north of the DFW metroplex. As Sherman’s city center and county seat of Grayson County, the neighborhood has a long and rich past, and we are now looking forward to a bright future as a sustainable mixed-use community. Our neighborhood already boasts a mix of retail shops, restaurants and cafés, arts and sports venues, professional services and opportunities for urban living. In addition, we are currently in the early stages of a full-scale development plan for the neighborhood. Whether you are a Sherman resident or are from out of town, a prospective business owner or developer, this site should offer you the resources you need. Browse the site and join us in our celebration of Sherman Downtown Now!

Come Check out the Ruins!

There are few who have ever been given a rare glimpse into the ruins of Sherman’s Woodman’s Circle home, and there are few who have not wondered or speculated about the enigmatic property perched on a hilltop west of Sherman. On September 25th, 2010 a once-in-a-lifetime event has been scheduled to allow visitors to experience the home. For more information, visit the museum’s web site.

Let’s splash this place with color!

Over 35 downtown businesses participated in our first annual potted plant contest! The enthusiasm and creativity of many of the downtown merchants and businesses really impressed the judges. Click the image to the left to learn who the winners are!

Howdy Neighbor!

Downtowners! Join us the third Thursday of each month for a mix and mingle hosted by a different downtown business. We will not be meeting in August, because its just too hot. But we will resume in September. Check back to find out who the next host is!
