Twilight * Firelight at Fanthorp

Fanthorp Inn State Historic Site celebrates the holiday season with a journey back to the 1850's.  The Inn opens her doors for our TWILIGHT*FIRELIGHT holiday event.  Enjoy the ambiance of the candle lit Inn, period music, poetry, stagecoach rides and a host of living history characters.  Activities begin at the Grimes County courthouse where visitors board a replica stagecoach or hay wagon for the ride down Main Street to Fanthorp Inn.  Upon arrival, visitors will meet weary travelers, cowboys, Henry and Rachel Fanthorp and perosnalities who will entertain with stories, poetry, music, wassail and good cheer.  The atmosphere of the Inn and 1850's personalities brings to the holiday season enchantment and peace - a delight for the young and young-at-heart!
