Information

OLD STAGECOACH STOP, 106 N. Lynn St.: The original log building was built by William Walton McDonald in the mid-1850s. The original structure was two log cabins connected by an open “dogtrot.” One cabin was used as a residence and the other as a stop for passengers on the Burden & Woodson stage route. During the Civil War, the building was commandeered by Union forces and used as a hospital. During the Fort Leonard Wood boom of World War II, military service members and their families boarded here. The building now houses the Old Stagecoach Stop Museum.
