Episode 1: Bridge Street History Center

Featured Guest: Maurice Walton, president of the museum

Other Guests: Dan Vanderburg and Cody Martin

Excerpt (Tammy Dooley): “I was fascinated from the beginning when I learned that the Bridge Street History Center was actually a storytelling museum. And who better to tell a story than Maurice (Walton). He’s a wealth of knowledge and that needs to be preserved.”

Excerpt (Maurice Walton): “In a place like Granbury – where the history in this town makes the town what it is – people come here to see the buildings, to hear the stories. And so the history in this community is essential to its existence. And the vitality of the community depends, to the great degree, on your ability to preserve that history.”

Overview: The power of story is on display at the Bridge Street History Center. Unlike most museums that are packed full of artifacts and relics, The History Center puts an emphasis on the stories that make Granbury’s history come to life. On this inaugural episode of Uniquely Granbury, we share a history-rich conversation with Maurice Walton, president of the Bridge Street History Center. We discuss his passion for Granbury's vibrant history, we talk about his involvement with the museum and he shares his thoughts on the possibility of history slipping away.
