They had some interesting cars a lot of Ford products some obscure Ford products from the 60s, as well as the ubiquitous muscle cars and 59 Cadillac convertible.

Did I mention it was 45 minutes outside of Abilene, which is already outside of many cities. My only complaint is the overboard proselytizing.

In 1914 the Harvey House in Brownwood was added to the Santa Fe Depot and restored in the 1990's. The uniformed "Harvey Girls" would serve up to 700 people at once in the large dining rooms. They lived in the top floor of the building with a typical bedroom restored and on display. Tracks behind the structures are used today with freight and passengers passing through on a regular basis. It is free and I recommend a visit, very interesting.

The Yeats-Duke Cabin is located at 214 North Crockett Street. Originally built in 1858 as a 16' x…read more16' single pen log home by Austin Newton Yeats, the house has evolved over time into the structure seen today. Austin Yeats settled in Texas in the middle 1850's with his wife, Frances Bond and her family. Yeats was a house joiner by trade, which may account for the condition of the original log structure today. Yeats and his family were among the first settlers in the area, settling in the area several years before Granbury became a town. Yeats left Granbury only to fight for the Confederacy in the War Between the States. The Yeats family sold the house in 1875 to the Nutt family. The Nutt family was integral to the development of the town of Granbury, having donated the original forty acres the town was platted from. The Nutt family sold the house to Major William Duke and his wife, Sophronia, in 1880. The Dukes came to Granbury from Alabama, and William Duke practiced law and became very involved in the community, becoming a founding member of the Hood County School. The Duke family made several additions to their home, beginning by surrounding the original cabin with a larger frame structure. Eventually the Dukes added a second pen the same size as the first attached by a dog trot. By 1905, dogtrot was enclosed adding a third room to the home and a front porch was added. The last addition to the home came in 1932, with the addition of a back porch next to the rear shed room. The home remained in the Duke family for many years, and it was not until the 1970's that Granbury's first preservationists rediscovered the original cabin inside the structure. The Yeats Duke Cabin now belongs to the City of Granbury and efforts are being made to fully renovate the structure. The Yeats Duke Cabin was designated a local landmark September 5, 2006. This information was obtained from the city's website.

One of the most fascinating things about this museum is the fossilized foot prints of what would have been considered the earliest known humans. They were massive and are said to have stood over 8.5 feet tall. I've always wanted to know what made beings grow so large and tall back then? Anywho, see that along with the bones of some of the largest amphibious and land based beings were a sight to be see in fairytale books.
