The Old Stagecoach Stop - Waynesville, Missouri
The oldest building in Waynesville was scheduled for distruction until a group of citizens decided to form a foundation and save it for posterity.

The Old Stagecoach Stop is open to visitors April through September on Saturdays, from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Admission is free.

The building is a two story structure. There are ten rooms, nine restored to various periods in the building’s history (1854-now). A tour with a guide in period costume takes about 45 minutes.

The building is listed on the National Historic Register.

The Old Stagecoach Stop in Waynesville is located on Interstate 44 in the southcentral region of Missouri. The site is also on the original road of Route 66.

Take either Exit 156 from the west or Exit 159 from the east. You will be on Bypass 44 and Historic Route 66. As you enter downtown Waynesville, you will pass the historic courthouse square (Waynesville is the County Seat of Pulaski County). On the east side of the square, in the middle of the block on Linn Street, sits the white two-story Old Stagecoach Stop.
