Veterans Day Parade

The Old Stagecoach Stop is the site of the reviewing stand for the Veterans Day Parade on November 11 in Waynesville. The parade alternates between Waynesville and St. Robert. The building is open for visitors before and after the event and is a great place to view the parade of Veterans and entries from Fort Leonard Wood.

 

Christmas on the Square

This has become a very popular event in the community. Held the first Thursday evening in December, it definitely kicks off the holiday season. Vendors are scattered about the square, providing an early opportunity to buy those gifts. Horse and buggy rides around the square are a courtesy of the Foundation. The Old Stagecoach Stop is decorated in periods from Victorian to aluminum 50s. Lit by oil lamps, the ambience is one not forgotten. For a look at Christmas on the Square at the OSS, click here.
