Marker Text |
Built during the 1850s in Waring by an unknown settler. Constructed with elm logs measuring eight inches wide. Offered food and lodging to stagecoach travelers between San Antonio and points west during the 1870s. Cabin was once the home of a settler who provided horses and saddles for Pony Express riders, so it became known as Remount Station and Stage Stop. Moved to Y.O. Ranch; restored. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1967 |
