We spent our few days off (making up for working the weekend) in Granbury and the surrounding area. Granbury is a town of about 7,600. It was settled in the mid-1800s, and many of the buildings in the historic town square look much the same as they did when the town was up and coming. There’s some active recreation on Lake Granbury, including a riverboat, but since it’s October, there wasn’t much happening on the lake. Downtown Granbury was nice for a walk. Most of the stores around the square are full of antiques or western novelty items and souvenirs. The Courthouse Tower is tall and imposing. The Old Jailhouse has a museum, and Granbury Cemetery is the final resting place of Jesse James. We also had a delicious lunch at the Nutshell Bakery and Cafe. Donny’s grilled cheese was served with Granny Smith slices in the sandwich! Mmmmm.
