Historic Stagecoach Inn reopens in Round Rock after building move, renovation

ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) — One of Round Rock's oldest surviving buildings has reopened.

City and local leaders celebrated the re-opening of the Stagecoach Inn on Saturday.

The historic building was built in the 1800s and used as a stagecoach rest stop, according to the city. Travelers ate and rested at the inn, and stagecoach drivers changed horse teams. Notably, honking geese would signal the arrival of stagecoaches.

The inn was later used as a tavern, private home and restaurant, according to the city.

The building was moved in 2018 from RM 620 to its new site on Chisholm Trail Road due to road construction. The relocation was finished in stages as the historic building is made from 100 tons of limestone.

Nonprofit organization Round Rock Preservation helped with the historical renovation. The Stagecoach Inn is now located at 750 Chisholm Trail Road, Round Rock.
