I first saw the Stagecoach on display in front of the Stagecoach Inn in 1993. I don't know how long it has been there.

The Stagecoach sits along I-35 in Salado. It is an advertisement for the Stagecoach Inn.
From Salado History:
"The stagecoach (not this one specifically, but just in general) would become an integral part of the community's life, bringing all sorts of prominent Texans with it. Among those associated with early Salado through documents and letters are Sam Houston, Robert E. Lee, and Shanghai Pierce."
"Originally an Overland Stage and Pony Express stop on the old Chisholm Trail, Salado welcomed such luminaries as General Robert E. Lee, General George Custer and Stephen F. Austin. The stage line also brought outlaws to Salado, including the James Brothers and Sam Bass."
Street address is: 401 S Stagecoach Rd, Salado, TX 76571
