Ten Mile House
6915 Stagecoach Road
Little Rock, Arkansas
ca. 1822-1835
aka: Stagecoach House and the McHenry House

Owner Jerry Hooker will present a short program of colorful stories and a tour of the Federal-style Ten Mile House, located on Highway 5 in Little Rock. It is a rare example of a largely intact rural home of the early nineteenth century. The stagecoach stop was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1970.

The house has suffered few exterior alterations and retains four nineteenth-century outbuildings surrounded by a large parcel of wooded property. Ten Mile House was commandeered by Union troops during the Civil War and accommodated travelers on the Southwest Trail stagecoach line, earning it the alternative name “Stagecoach House.”

The house is also referred to as the McHenry House after the original owner of the property, Archibald McHenry.
