Description

 

Travel back in time and experience a period holiday celebration at the Fanthorp Inn in Anderson, TX! Activities begin at the Grimes County courthouse in Anderson where visitors board a replica stagecoach or wagon for a ride down Main Street to the Fanthorp Inn. Upon arrival visitors will step off the coach and into the 1800s as the soft glow of candle flickers in the parlor window and the sound of fiddle fills the air. The atmosphere of the inn and living history personalities bring the holiday season to life.

 

Tickets will be sold in time slots, all leaving from the Grimes County Courthouse. Tickets are $10 admission and wagon ride or $20 for admission and stagecoach ride for everyone above 6 years old. Kids 5 and under are considered lap riders and are free. All tickets will be by reservation only and will not be sold at the event.  Visitors will have to disembark upon reaching their destination. 

 

If a party has members with mobility impairments and cannot ride in one of the replica vehicles to the inn, please have them purchase a ticket with your group and add a note that one of your members doesn't wish to ride in the wagon. We will then make separate arrangements for them to be taken to the inn.

 

We encourage guests to arrive at the courthouse at least 30 minutes prior to your boarding time. Once you arrive be sure to check in at the boarding station and receive your wristband. We’ll notify you when its time to board your coach for your trip to Fanthorp Inn 1854! Enjoy the festivities of a Texas Victorian holiday celebration and when you are ready to return home you can board the vehicle you arrived for a trip back to the courthouse.

Timeslots are fixed and cannot be exchanged. Tickets are only refundable if the event is canceled. 

By purchasing tickets, visitors agree to a release of liability form and media release form. 


Please dress appropriately for the season and be prepared for the weather as the event will take place in a period setting with some portions outdoors. The first floor of the Inn as well as the Barn/Restrooms are accessible. Contact Chandler Wahrmund (chandler.wahrmund@thc.texas.gov) for more information.
