Winnsboro's 1903 Romanesque Revival courthouse anchors the town square, surrounded by early-twentieth-century commercial buildings that recall the delta's cotton economy peak. The town also hosts the annual Catfish Festival each April—a celebration of Franklin Parish's aquaculture industry that draws thousands to the courthouse grounds.
