The jail has a great history, but do not just read the exhibits and leave. Talk to the volunteers. They have the real history and they have a passion to tell the stories. Interesting place. Possibly haunted. The kids (4/7) were a bit too young, but they still talk about their experience in the jail cell and the ghost.

The old jail museum was our favorite stop on our last visit to Granbury. The guides were friendly and quite knowledgeable. I would suggest taking the tour with a guide first and then go back to view the displays after you know a little more about what they mean. There are many exciting tales highlighted in the museum.

Very interesting place full of history, although it seems the docents can talk for hours. Rooms of displays tell the story of Granbury and the upstairs jail is open to explore.

I never knew there was so much history right outside Fort Worth. The County Jail was just spectacular. Our host was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable, not only in the history of the jail, but with the town history as well. It was great to see how everything tied together. There were so many things to look at and learn... More

Our host was amazing and so entertaining. This was such a pleasnat surprise. If you want to know some interesting Texas history, you have to go here. Its more than just a jail house. Its a museum full of Texas history. Loved it. Thank you so much for the wonderful tour, We are taking all our friends here.

I loved the old timey Sears catalog, the Indian scalps, collection of Sherrif's badges, the historic clothing and much more. You have got to visit the Hood County Jail more than once to get to see all... More

...so this review may be a waste of time. I don't like society people in general. Fake smiles with fake conversations. Any and all tours in Granbury bleed Fake! But if you want to entertain your children with local history this is a must see.

this historic museum used to hold the inmates of Granbury,texas. there is so much history in this place, the stories & feelings you feel when you enter, are a shot of anxiousness & adrenanline.

My husband and I stopped in here, and were impressed by the amount of historical information downstairs and the creepiness of seeing the jail cell areas upstairs. The area has been cleaned, but left untouched - with graffiti, paint peeling, and you could really imagine the living conditions of the inmates who were housed here. There was anecdotal information posted... More
