History of Whitehouse
Whitehouse is on Farm Road 346 and State Highway 110,
six miles southeast of Tyler in southeastern Smith County. The community was
built around a white house where people traveling stopped or would agree to
meet. This is where it got its name.
Today, Whitehouse has a celebration known as
YesterYear. The annual
YesterYear celebration held the last weekend in June is devoted to the history
and heritage of the area. It features arts and crafts exhibits, western
shootouts, demonstrations and exhibits of old-time skills, and the selection of
a Mr. and Mrs. YesterYear.
