Special Focus on May 13: Music Makes a Dance Celebration – Join us at 11, 1 and 3 for “Music Makes a Dance Celebration.” Fanthorp Inn focuses on dancing in Texas during the days when music along with dancing was one of the few opportunities to socially interact and enjoy the company of others. Come join the fun and learn a few of the popular dances enjoyed in early Texas. Citizens looked forward to these events and an opportunity to show their finest clothes, behavior and manners. Anticipation and preparations of days if not weeks were spent preparing for the parties.
