Entry No. 54 — the Dallas file — filed under: outsider-art
Webb Gallery
Webb Gallery has occupied a sprawling 5,000 sq ft 1902 downtown building since 1994, packing it with self-taught and outsider folk art alongside antique fraternal lodge regalia, vintage painted carnival banners, memory jugs, and vernacular photography — exactly the kind of place where every corner holds something unexpected. Run by collectors Bruce and Julie Webb, the gallery mounts four rotating exhibits per year with new antique oddities arriving weekly.
The move: Visit on a weekend afternoon (open Sat-Sun 1-5pm) and give yourselves the full two hours to comb through the 5,000 sq ft of strangeness together — debate which secret-society sash is creepiest, pick a favorite carnival banner, then walk the historic Waxahachie courthouse square for coffee or a bite afterward.
📍 Before you go The gallery sits in a 1902 building on Franklin Street, half a block off Waxahachie's historic courthouse square, an easy day trip roughly half an hour south of Dallas. Weekend afternoons are the reliable window for walk-ins; weekdays are by appointment only, so plan ahead if you're coming midweek. Because exhibits rotate a few times a year and stock turns over constantly, no two visits look alike. Park free around the square and make an afternoon of it: the courthouse, local coffee shops, and antique stores are all within a short stroll. Confirm the current exhibit and that they're open before driving down.
