GLEN ROSE, TEXAS. Glen Rose, the county seat of
Somervell County, is at the junction of U.S. Highway 67 and State Highway
144, on the Paluxy River in the central part of the county. The area was
first settled in 1849 by Charles Barnard, who opened a trading post near
Comanche Peak. After the region became a federal Indian reservation in 1855,
Barnard moved his business to Fort Belknap. Around 1859, after the
reservation was abolished, Barnard returned to the area and built the first
store on what is now the site of Glen Rose.

Inn On The River |
Early this century, the building that is now
Inn On The River was part of a unique complex known as Dr. Snyder's
Drugless Health Sanitarium. Snyder, who touted himself as a "magnetic
healer," knew that people liked to be pampered. He fed them well,
provided them with hot baths and comfortable rooms, and generally gave
them the kind of personal attention that made them want to return, time
and again

Lilly House |
Step back in time to a gentler age when
hospitality was an art and dining was an unhurried experience. When a
person could while away an hour on a porch in a rocker with coffee and
the newspaper-without a spec of guilt. When nights were spent in
high-ceiling bedrooms on featherbeds under down comforters and birds
sang you awake in the morning.
