Inscription. During the days of the Republic, there were few stage lines operating in Texas. John S. Harrison and William H. McCulloch, ran their stage lines from the Gulf Coast to Central Texas as far back as the mid-1840s transporting immigrants who were arriving on steamers from New Orleans and other major ports of entry.

In October 2000 the Harrison & McCulloch Stage Stop was declared a State Archeological Landmark by the Texas Historical Commission, and was reconstructed using the original formula of limecrete. In 2009 the Visitor Center opened its doors, so step inside and discover the rich history of the Selma Stage Stop.
