About this listen

How did Granbury, Texas become recognized as the “Best Historical Small Town in America” and earn the town motto, “Where Texas History Lives?” How did the little community survive tough times and disasters that caused boarded-up ghost towns elsewhere? How did the village on the Brazos River grow through a century and a half to become a leading, award-winning tourism destination and a remarkable place to live, work, play and visit?

Where Texas History Lives will show you the Granbury story from its very beginning, even before Native Americans had horses, to current day. You’ll see the triumphs and tragedies of the frontier town’s citizens and what pure grit and determination can do. You’ll follow its evolution through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries while keeping its turn-of-the-century charm alive. You’ll see the local impact of the American Civil War, two World Wars, major floods, droughts, world-wide pandemics and economic disasters. You’ll also see how new inventions and technology improved everyone’s lives over the decades. And you’ll understand how the development of Lake Granbury and visionary leadership at the right time turned a sleepy rural town into the thriving Celebration Capital of Texas” we enjoy today.
