This mysterious hotel has some incredible history. "The Magnolia Hotel began as a two room log cabin built in the 1840 by James Campbell who was one of the original Texas Rangers who bravely fought against the Mexican Army (and Comanches) for Texas Independence. Campbell was also one of the three Co-Founders of Seguin. He had a huge basement built under the log cabin that was used as an Indian Raid shelter and jail.  This jail would be labeled the worst jail in ALL of Texas. After Ranger Campbell participated in the bloody battle of the "Counsel House Fight" in San Antonio, he was then targeted by Comanches seeking revenge. A few weeks later, he was brutally murdered by Comanche's. He was stabbed 27 times, scalped, robbed of his horse and left for dead. When his fellow Texas Rangers went looking for him, they found his mutilated body and buried him in an unmarked grave not far from his cabin."

The hotel came under different owners throughout the years that had different visions for the building. Along with the Texas independence history that is so deeply rooted within the Magnolia Hotel, the hotel has also been home to many heinous crimes and murders. "In 2012 it was placed on TEXAS MOST ENDANGERED LIST by the Texas Preservation. After seeing a video about the hotel's destine demise, on March 13, 2013 it was rescued by the Jim & Erin Ghedi wishing to restore the hotel to its original 1850's heyday. During their restoration the building exploded with paranormal activity causing the loss of contractors and bringing the restoration to a halt."

We encourage you to consider taking a guided tour of the hotel which you can book on the website. You can find more information and history on the website at http://www.hauntedmagnoliahotel.com/home.

*SPOILER* but please read after finding

This cache is near the memorial grave of Ranger Campbell. 
Please put the rocks and succulents back in the pot if they fall out and place beside the grave. 
I have consent from Erin and Jim Ghedi (owners) to hide a geocache on their property, so you will not be in trouble whatsoever for geocaching here. 
This flower pot is part of the lovely aesthetics of the hotel, so please make sure to leave it as you found it. Thank you.
