Old Town's Historic Well House Is Now Lewisville's Official Welcome Center

A Familiar Landmark Gets a New Job

For years, the Well House in front of Lewisville City Hall was easy to walk past without a second thought — a small historic structure that felt more like backdrop than destination. That has changed. Visit Lewisville has converted the building into a working Visitor Information Center, and the grand opening celebration — complete with giveaways, desserts, and face painting — has already drawn residents out to Old Town to take a look.

The timing is deliberate. The center opened during the 2026 Sounds of Lewisville concert season, when foot traffic through the Old Town corridor is at its summer peak. Planting a welcome hub there means visitors who come for an evening of live music can also walk away with a map, a dining recommendation, and a locally made keepsake.

What You’ll Actually Find Inside

The center is designed to answer the question locals hear from out-of-town guests: “So what is there to do here?” Staff can point visitors toward local attractions, hotels, and dining options across the city. That kind of curated, face-to-face guidance is something a search engine handles poorly when someone is already standing on a sidewalk in an unfamiliar place.

Beyond information, the space doubles as a small retail outlet. Visitors can browse Lewisville-branded merchandise alongside goods from local artisans — the kind of items that don’t show up in a chain store and make for a more meaningful souvenir than an airport magnet.

Why the Well House Location Matters

Setting up in the Well House rather than a generic storefront was a considered choice. The structure sits directly in front of City Hall, which puts it at the civic and geographic heart of Old Town. Anyone attending an event at Wayne Ferguson Plaza, grabbing dinner on a weeknight, or exploring the historic district for the first time will pass within steps of the entrance.

The building’s age also reinforces the pitch Visit Lewisville is making: that this city has character and history worth exploring, not just retail corridors and highway access. Housing the welcome center in a structure with genuine historic presence sends that message before a single brochure is handed over.

Practical Details for Your Next Visit

If you have family coming in from out of town this summer — or if you simply want to hand someone a better answer than “just Google it” — the Well House Visitor Information Center is worth a stop. It is located in front of Lewisville City Hall in Old Town, accessible on foot from the Wayne Ferguson Plaza event grounds.

The center stocks information on hotels, dining, and attractions across Lewisville, so it covers the full city rather than just the immediate Old Town blocks. For residents who sometimes struggle to explain what makes Lewisville worth a longer visit, having a staffed, stocked physical space to point people toward is a genuine convenience.

A Useful Hub for a Busy Summer Calendar

Lewisville’s event calendar is dense between now and early fall. The Lewisville Grand Theater has performances running through August, NTX Arena is hosting multiple collector shows in late July and early August, and Western Days is shaping up for the last weekend of September. The Visitor Information Center is well-positioned to serve as a clearinghouse for all of it — a place where someone who wandered into Old Town for one thing can find out about five others.

For longtime residents, the Well House conversion is the kind of low-profile civic improvement that tends to go unnoticed until someone from out of town mentions it. Now is a reasonable moment to notice it yourself.
