Description
Had Ingrid Bergman taken the train from Casablanca instead of the plane....
The Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railroad arrived in Hood county, Granbury Texas in 1887. This depot, a local landmark and constructed in 1914, is one of the better examples of the typical train depots throughout Texas and largely remains in original condition. The outside can be viewed at the corner of FM 51 and 109 East Ewell (across the road from Granbury's beautiful city park) and may or may not be open to the public depending on current events and business hours, but having never been there when its open, I would advise you call before making plans to visit. Its common in most small texas towns to find depots converted into small museums, chamber of commerce, park attractions, libraries, historical landmarks, and sometimes you can find them still in use as intended. Every town in Texas seems to take great pride in their railroad history and depot; Granbury is no exception.
