The Most Historic Hotel in America/ The Menger in San Antonio/ So much history! Haunted?

Just steps,from The Alamo, the Menger Hotel is the most historic hotel in America. Built in 1859, this hotel has many tales to tell. From Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders and Carrie Nation’s infamous hatchet, to Babe Ruth, and even a Hollywood movie masterpiece. The Menger is the longest continuously operated hotel west of the Mississippi. It’s also said to be haunted!

We hope to be in the San Antonio area next February. We will have to pop in the Menger and take a look. Thank you for giving me the tour! Mary

It was crazy seeing a modern ATM machine next to an original wood telephone booth.

[@RagtopHistorian]

Yes, but it was right beside the bar, LOL. Gotta have cash sometimes! To be fair, those phone booths are some of the newest things in the hotel, believe it or not. Almost everything there is very old. Thanks so much for watching!

@@RagtopHistorian if you’re interested there’s some hidden history in the city few know about , it’s the tunnel system there tunnels all over downtown area some from Alamo well to river walk but when they found it building the river walk it was sealed right away since the wooden timber was so rotten and the Saint Anthony hotel had an entrance in there basement saw it is mid 80’s before renovation the power company uses it to get electricity to all the downtown ares

[@RagtopHistorian]

I bet it was! I want to stay on that side again as well! The ghosts reside there, according to legend!
