Fanthorp Inn State Historic Site, Historic inn and stagecoach stop in Anderson, United States.

The Fanthorp Inn spans 6 acres and features 17 rooms constructed from cedar logs with clapboard exterior in a rustic architectural style.

Henry Fanthorp, an English immigrant, established the inn in 1834 and expanded it by 1850 while serving as the first postmaster in the region.

The inn functioned as a central meeting point for the community, hosting travelers and operating as a post office, store, and polling station.

Visitors can take 45-minute guided tours of the furnished period rooms and experience stagecoach rides during special monthly events.

Kenneth Anderson, vice president of the Republic of Texas, spent his final moments at the inn on July 3, 1845.
