About The Fredericksburg Eagle Hotel
The history of the building dates back to the early 1800’s,
however it is difficult to find any information prior to 1827. In
1827 a fire destroyed the town. The fire was started by a young boy
shooting at crows on a barn roof made of thatch. The wad from the
shot ignited the roof, the fire spread quickly due to all the
structures being made of wood and thatch. The only building left
standing was the hotel. The building and land were left unoccupied
for some length of time before it was purchased by Percival &
Malinda Strauss. Percival demolished the building and rebuilt, by
himself the “Strauss House”. Except for a large over hang on the
front of the building, and a small lookout room on the roof that was
used as an Indian watchtower, the building looks much as it did
then.
Since that time the Hotel has seen several owners and name changes,
but has always operated as a tavern / hotel.
