Fanthorp Inn State Historical Park

The double-pen, cedar log dogtrot house was built by an English immigrant, Henry Fanthorp, when Texas was part of Mexico. Fanthorp petitioned Stephen Austin in 1832 for permission to settle in the original Austin Colony. He bought 1100 acres and built his house in 1834.

Activities at the park include tours of the historic Fanthorp Inn and rides on an authentic replica of an 1850 Concord stagecoach.

Located on State Highway 90, 10 miles east of Navasota.
