Stagecoach Days at the Fanthorp Inn in Anderson are Saturday, July 13, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Take a trip back to 1850 as you explore what life was like traveling on the Texas frontier. Don’t miss this great opportunity to ride our mule-drawn stagecoach. Also enjoy a tour of Henry Fanthorp’s beautifully preserved inn or sit on the front porch and enjoy the sweet sound of dulcimer music.
