About Us

  • ​Round Rock Preservation was founded on April 5, 2016 by Shirley and Donald Marquardt to advocate and raise funds for the preservation of the Stagecoach Inn. They had circulated a petition to save the inn but fundraising required a formal status. Shirley served as President from 2016-2023.
