Around the historic town square, 19th-century buildings house boutiques where shopkeepers tell tales of Confederate General Hiram B. Granbury between sales. The restored Opera House stages productions that draw crowds from Dallas and Fort Worth. Lake Granbury beckons with its sandy city beach ā a surprising find in landlocked Texas. History buffs can't miss the Railroad Depot Museum and the old Hood County Jail, now cleverly repurposed as a museum. For an unexpected adrenaline rush, FCS Paintball offers tactical courses where weekend warriors dodge and weave. After sunset, locals gather at cafes framing the square, debating whether the town's best feature is its preserved architecture or the small-town hospitality that hasn't changed in a century.
