Historic Salado, Texas Written by Mary A. Flowers |  |  | 
Take exit 285 off Interstate 35, north of Austin, and treat yourself to a mini vacation. This exit leads to Salado, a historic Texas town ideally located just off the Interstate halfway between Waco and Austin. From the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, it is an easy two-hour drive. Most people know Salado as being a stagecoach stop back in the old days. There is still a stagecoach inn here, but there is much more.
