Texas is full of charming little towns, but none are quite so welcoming as Forney. The small community on the farthest reaches of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area is known for being the “Antiques Capital of Texas” because a man named Red Whaley moved his antique store from Dallas to Forney which spurred a domino effect; sooner or later the town was full of antique stores and people from all around the country poured into town to look for rare pieces of furniture, artwork, and many other objects. Forney was ravaged by a major tornado in 2012 but has since recovered and flourished as one of the finest destinations around Dallas.
