The railroad is an important part of Missouri’s rich history. Many towns across the state exist only because trains once stopped in their community. Just like many other Missouri towns, Hollister sprang to life in 1906 when the first train arrived in town. By 1910, the town had a bustling train depot and the town of Hollister became incorporated. By 1910, realtor William H. Johnson was busy bringing his dream of turning Hollister into an English style resort town to reality. Today, the timber trimmed, cottage-style buildings are still the most popular attraction in the town and you can still stay in the original English Inn. It’s an overnight adventure that will take you back in time and transport you to another country!
