Corn for Cash

Relive the excitement of coaching in early Texas by touring Fanthorp Inn State Historic Site. Once a month, the Inn comes to life with costumed characters and activities at one of Texas most authentic and celebrated stagecoach inns. Join us February 9^th as we present “Corn for Cash” a look at how an early settler to Texas turned dealing in corn into a way to finance a very successful Stagecoach Inn. In addition to the presentations, you will be magically taken back in time to the Texas 1850’s with the sweet sounds of Dulcimer music and the heartfelt poetry of a cowboy poet. Discover the stagecoach’s role in early Texas travel and communication. It’s a unique event the whole family will remember and enjoy. 

Program Presentations of 20-25 minutes in length will be at 11 AM, 1PM and 3 PM at the original corn crib located behind the old Inn.
