About Landmark Inn State Historic Site

Landmark Inn State Historic Site sits under large trees on the banks of the Medina River in Castroville, a town founded in 1844 as a planned community near San Antonio. The five-acre site tells how American Indians, Tejanos, and immigrants from several countries used the river crossing. Visitors can take guided public tours, join living history programs, attend special events, and explore the grounds. The inn also offers overnight rooms and suites, and its facilities can be rented for private events.
