Fabulous morning doing a walking tour of Fort Worth. My parents were here for a short time and we…read morehad only one day available to do the tour - FW Tours was super accommodating and opened up a new tour just for us. Our tour guide Charlie did an excellent job covering the unique history of Fort Worth as we walked the main blocks of Sundance Square. He was a great story teller and very engaging. We felt sad to see what an impact COVID has had on the city - there are very few people out (on a Monday morning, anyway... it was hopping last Sat night!) plaza is no longer a place for gathering. The fountains are shut off, many restaurants have closed, and multiple museums have not reopened (not even the visitor center!). I wouldn't have been surprised to see a tumbleweed rolling down main street. From the tour we learned of many ups and downs Fort Worth has experienced over the years, and we hope this situation is no different. I'm ready to see Fort Worth's revival! In the meantime, whether you're a tourist or resident, check out these walking tours and fall in love with Fort Worth!

How to describe Food Walks of Texas? Fun! I was skeptical at first but, given as a birthday gift, I…read morerolled with it. Three of us met Tall Paul, the owner and tour guide on the square in McKinney Texas. When thinking about starting the business,he and his wife attended a school in Chicago on the subject. Evidently, Chicago is known for food tours. Basically, over a 5 hour period(it was supposed to be 31/2) Paul walked us around old downtown McKinney enlightening us on the history of this lovely North Texas Town and stopping in for small bites and drinks. Our first stop at 11 am on Sunday was an Irish pub! I have to think back a long time to remember when I may have been drinking beer at 11 am on Sunday! I bet 100 years ago people of McKinney would have been up in arms over beer drinking any time on Sunday, especially before church! This is the type of thing that Food Walk and Paul made fun to think about. Our tour wrapped up at a great place with oysters and some lovely mixology drinks. I think if you are open-minded and can roll with it, this may be something different that would expand your horizons. I say, Go!!!

We also got to stop by a local bakery and try their sweet bread. Next time we're in town we definitely want to try out another food tour with them.

Throughout the tour you also had the option to add on custom cocktails. We had the opportunity to ride the trolly twice and even check out the trolley garage and learn a bit of history there.

The Nutt House, also known as "D.L. Nutt Home" was built in 1879 in its existing location. The…read morehouse remains one of the best examples of a High-Style, Greek revival home. The charm of the structure has been maintained by its inhabitants for the last 120 years. The home was designed and built by a man whose last name was Evans. He also built the Hannaford House on Lambert Street. The house, described both as a High Style Victorian or Plantation-style home with Greek Revival details, still retains its original detail. The historic, architectural and cultural significance of the house is evidenced by the fact that the house is in its original location and has been largely maintained in its original state. The fact that the house was constructed by a skilled local craftsman demonstrates the uniqueness of the house's design. The house was built for David Lee Nutt who was a very successful business owner in Granbury's early history. Nutt was an early Hood County entrepreneur who was also involved in the development of several of Granbury's most important institutions including churches, schools and a bridge built over the Brazos River in 1878. The Nutt family is arguably the most significant family in Granbury and Hood County's history. Additionally, the woman who restored the home in 1967 was Mary Lou Watkins Nutt, who is widely regarded as the founder of the preservation movement in Granbury. David Lee Nutt was involved in the early settlement of Granbury, even though he was one of the youngest of all the Nutt brothers. In fact, he was involved in defending the territory in significant Indian raids and won the heart of Sudie Garland, daughter of Captain Peter Garland who led local campaigns to defend the area from Indian raids. By all accounts, D.L. Nutt was a very industrious entrepreneur who worked very hard in the business he shared with his brothers. After building the house, D.L and Sudie opened their home to the "drummers" or travelling salesmen who were showcased their wares for the Nutt's mercantile store. In fact, it was Sudie who finally persuaded her husband to add a wing on to the house to accommodate these individuals, thereby opening Granbury's first hotel - The Nutt House. A narrative of the family provided to the Texas Historical Commission describes the friendly nature of D.L. and Sudie, "As host and hostess, Mr. Nutt and his amiable wife are without peers as entertainers, and all who stop beneath their roof are made to feel at home." The Nutts closed the hotel in 1900 and dismantled the wing addition and porches were added to the home. Mary Lou Watkins who was the granddaughter of D.L. and Sudie purchased the house in the mid-1960s and began an extensive restoration. The home is a fantastic example of a High-Style Victorian with Greek revival influence, which was somewhat rare for this part of the country in 1879. The Nutts added a wing onto the house when Ms. Nutt decided to profit from the drummers who came home with Mr. Nutt. The Nutts entertained their guests for a few years and the "Nutt House" hotel wing was removed in 1900 and converted to expansive porches. When Mary Lou Watkins began renovations on the home in the 1960s, she eliminated the expansive front porch and restored much of the interior. She obtained a Recorded Texas Historical Landmark in 1967. The current owner, Mr. Stuart Brown, also completed an extensive restoration on much of the outside of the home by re-leveling the foundation and restoring porch balusters and columns. Additionally, Mr. Brown added another bathroom upstairs to one of the bedrooms, thereby extending the upstairs footprint. The house includes most of the original woodwork and windows as well as much of the interior floors. Ms.Watkins replaced the staircase with a staircase obtained from a historic home in Dallas. The interior of the home also maintains much of its original moldings and millwork. While all the information on the architect and builder of the home has not been obtained, we do know that Mr. Evans also designed and constructed the Hannaford House, another fine home in Granbury. The home was constructed from cypress lumber hauled from east Texas by an oxcart. The Nutt House is most assuredly a familiar visual feature of the city. Because it was built on site 120 years ago, the home has seen Granbury through many eras. The house is one of the largest and most magnificent of all the historic homes in Granbury. The home is included in Granbury's tour of homes and is a very popular stop when it is included on the Candlelight Tour of Homes. The D.L. Nutt-Watkins House was designated a local landmark November 17, 2009. This information was obtained from their website.
