Fanthorp Inn State Historic Site
Brazos Trail Region
Fanthorp Inn, located in Anderson, Texas, served as a stagecoach stop, post office, and lodging for travelers during the Republic and early statehood periods. Positioned along key travel routes such as El Camino Real de los Tejas, the inn was part of a network later used by U.S. Army units, including African American regiments, as they traveled between posts or visited family. The site reflects a layered history where early Texas hospitality is linked to the legacy of military service and the ongoing pursuit of freedom and equality.
