Explore Granbury's celebrated history. Granbury owes much of its present charm to its vibrant heritage, from the elegant limestone facades that ring the historic town square to its treasury of Victorian homes. And it owes much of its resilience to the rougher portions of its past, dating back to a frontier era filled with saloons and land disputes. Sitting on one of its sunny restaurant patios, it's hard to image figures like Jesse James or John Wilkes Booth flitting through Granbury's lore, but the town has stared down its fair share of mysterious tragedy and stubborn prejudice.
