Halfway between Denison and Sherman was Tanyard Springs, an area heavily wooded with elms, oaks and hickories and containing a flowing spring. It became a recreational destination to lure paying customers onto his interurban railway, the first in the state of Texas.
If you look closely at the closing credits of some television documentaries now being broadcast on the new Smithsonian Channel, you’ll see the name of Sherman writer Gene Lenore. Lenore is listed as writer or co-writer on five shows produced for the Smithsonian Channel by Fiveson Entertainment of Virginia.
