It is likely that this building was built early in the settlement of the area, as you will note on the original wall of the building, tall narrow slots. These are rifle ports which were to be used to fire at marauding Indians. We accommodate children over 12 years of age. We are sorry, we do not allow pets. Smoking allowed only outdoors.

Innkeepers Terry and Andrea Potts invite you to share the Levi Tenney House and a piece of Texas History. The village of Salado was established in 1859 when Sterling Robertson, who was the empresario for this Spanish land grant gave 100 acres to be divided into lots and constitute the new town of Salado. Proceeds from the sale of the lots were to be used to fund Salado College, an institution for the education of the children and young people of settlers in this area. Levi Tenney was a Presbyterian Pastor and the first President of Salado College. The land that the home sits on which extends down to the road on the south, to the fence on the west and to the red barn is part of an Indian campground that dates to pre-history.
