Get Away to Granbury…

A rare jewel awaits you nestled in the heart of the Brazos River Valley alongside tranquil Lake Granbury. 

Granbury offers many of the same exciting entertainment amenities that Branson, Missouri provides, though much closer to home for residents of Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, and part of Oklahoma.  Sunlight or starlight – lake cruises with Granbury Lake Tours, offer views of Lake Granbury that few experience.  A leisurely stroll through the charming Victorian downtown reminds you of a time gone by as you search for treasures in more than 40 unique shops and boutiques.  Sing along to professional, family musical entertainment at Granbury Live Theater, where toe-tapping is contagious.   Broadway style musicals in the 1886 ambience of the Granbury Opera House will delight the theatre lover in everyone. Experience movies under the stars at the Brazos Drive-In, one the few remaining in the country. 

Outdoor lovers may opt for a round of golf, water sports on the lake or a brisk walk along the  Moments in Time Hike/Bike Trail which winds through beautiful Shanley Park.  Beachcombers & water enthusiasts will love the white sand of the new city beach.  Palm trees and tiki huts lend a tropical feel to this new addition.  Water feature play areas, tube rentals and a view of sparkling Lake Granbury make this picture post card complete.

Dining is a treat in Granbury.  Something for every taste and every food type – family-style, tearoom, martini-bar, 50’s style soda shop, coffee house, hamburger joint, barbeque, Tex-Mex, Cajun, and upscale cuisine- you choose. Wine tastings, art displays and historical sites add to the experience. 
At day’s end one can refresh and pamper the soul at one of Granbury’s cozy bed & breakfast inns or new conventional hotels for the perfect get away experience. 

Granbury is also known as the city “Where Texas History Lives.”  Jessie James supposedly spent time in Granbury building the railroad system between Fort Worth and Dublin, Texas.  Near the end of his life, at James’ request, his grandsons returned him to Granbury to live out the remainder of his life.  Jessie James is buried in Granbury’s historic cemetery.  Through an interesting turn of events, John Wilkes Booth spent time in Granbury working as a bartender using the alias of John St. Helen.  In the early 1900s, Carrie Nations “axed” her way through Granbury’s best known saloons as she did her best to close down the liquor establishments in the area.  And then later still, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow visited a relative and had lunch in Granbury’s historic Square.  The two infamous bank robbers did not rob any banks during their visit.
