The Inn on the River occupies historic buildings built by Dr George Snyder in 1919 to house his famous Snyder Sanitarium. The scenic location along the banks of the beautiful Paluxy River, coupled with comfortable rooms and wide porches make for a uniquely relaxing experience.
The state historic marker for the building reads as follows:
"SNYDER SANITARIUM
Hundreds of natural springs and artesian wells made Glen Rose a health resort at the turn of the century. George Paul Snyder (1878-1942), a native of California, opened a sanitarium here in 1915. He built this two-story structure in 1919 to accommodate his growing clientele. Snyder kept a small zoo which became a landmark for townspeople as well as guests. After Snyder's death, his family and associates operated the sanitarium until the 1970s.
