My wife and I drove 272 miles to see this museum and it was the 6th. doll museum we have visited in the Texas-Oklahoma-Kansas region. A nice lady told us about the history of the area since it was our first visit to Granbury, Texas. She then told us about the displays as were went from room to room. We were then allowed to tour the museum at our leisure as much as we wanted. We have collected dolls for several years and we have nearly 2,000 dolls ourselves. We saw several dolls there that we have and many that we don't and all were wonderfully displayed. We plan to come back to this museum again to see more. It is worth the drive.
3. Hood County Jail and Historical Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 140 reviews
The museum is housed in an authentic old western jail built in 1885 and located just off the northeast corner of the town square. The museum preserved the upstairs jail cells and hanging gallows just as they were when the County used it as a jail. The main floor houses exhibits on Hood County history covering David Crockett's descendants, General Granbury's tombstone, the Colony, Jesse James, John Wilkes Booth, Bell Starr, Comanche Peak, Barnard's Trading Post, the Brown family piano, and much more. It is recommended to call museum in advance.

First, the family that runs the museum is so friendly and knowledgeable. They guided us through the cellars and downstairs museum. There are a ton of artifacts and lots of written history to read through. It took us about 45 minutes to go through the whole thing and that was really stopping to read and look at most of the artifacts. Bigger place than we had thought. It is a great little place to stop and check out if you are needing to kill time before your play at the opera house starts.

There isn’t too much to see in the home but it was still neat. They have a DVD to watch which I recommend, gives good summary of the feud between the families and the only hanging in the town!
5. Granbury's Railroad Depot Museum
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 18 reviews
Granbury's depot was constructed in 1914 and is an example of a typical Texas train station. The current building replaces an earlier depot, which was constructed in 1887 when the railroad first came to the area. It was destroyed by fire in 1912. The current structure was described as a "modern passenger and freight depot". The Ft. Worth and Rio Grande Railroad came to Granbury in 1887. To enable travelers to visit between Granbury and Ft. Worth, residents paid a railroad $25,000 to run a line between the two cities. This caused a growth spurt in Granbury and an economic boon.

This is a little known gem in Granbury. The volunteer that was there was very knowledgible and told us many facts about the railroad in Granbury
