Mail Call: Letter Writing at the Fanthorp Inn

August 8, 2026

Brazos Trail Region
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM 579 S. Main St. Anderson, TX 77830 (936) 873-2633

Did you know that the Fanthorp Inn is one of the first post offices in Texas? This weekend we will be talking all about how the mail system worked (or didn't work) in the Republic of Texas.

We'll also show you how to write, fold, and seal letters just like they would have back in the 1800s.

There is no set admission but we do ask for a suggested cash donation of $4 for adults and $2 for children.
