The parish seat, Mansfield, anchors small towns like Stonewall and Logansport, where new subdivisions mix with family homesteads and weekend fishing on the Sabine River. For trip ideas and events, the DeSoto Parish Tourist Commission keeps an updated calendar and itineraries.
History lives large here: the Civil War comes into focus at the Mansfield State Historic Site, with trails and exhibits that bring the battlefield to life. Downtown blocks host festivals, car shows, and makers’ markets that keep weekends full.
