15 Best Things To Do in McKinney, Texas

It might come as a surprise to some people, but McKinney was once one of the best places to live in the country.

Even today, it’s a reminder of the region’s history, especially with Victorian houses lining the city’s streets and the Collin County Historical Society & Museum, which still has documents signed by the man - Collin McKinney - who instigated the 1835 Texas Revolution.

The Main Street has a small-town vibe that’s quaintly matched with the cute boutiques and galleries. Moreover, the city sees art festivals and the region-wide famous Oktoberfest that attracts thousands of participants.

Meanwhile, the Lone Star Wine Cellars is an ode to the Texan wine industry that has flourished significantly in the past few years. East Virginia Street has live music, wine tastings, and eateries - basically everything you need to have a good time.
