While Bridge Street History Center’s mission is to tell the stories of the people of Granbury, Hood County, and Texas, the structures where these stories unfolded are very important. This is Pemberton Castle, Austin, Texas. Texas has a treasure of various architectural styles in everything from humble homes, to magnificent mansions and public buildings.

Here, long before the first anglos.The names of Native American tribes are an important part of Texas’ multilingual culture and history. Most tribes refer to themselves as “the people” in their own language. In some cases, though, the tribal name that’s used today came from another tribe’s language, or a Spanish or French word from the colonial era.
“Comanche” demonstrates both derivations. “Kɨmantsi” is a word from the Ute dialect spoken by Indigenous people of Utah and Colorado, meaning “anyone who wants to fight”: enemy. In the Comanche language, their name is Nʉmʉnʉʉ, “the people.”
Other Texas tribes with names meaning “the people” include the Arapaho (Hinono’ei), Cheyenne (Tsistsistas), Delaware (Lenni Lenape), Kiowa (Ka’i gwu), and Tonkawa (Tickanwa-tic; “Tonkawa” itself means “they all stay together”).
The Wichita tribes—a group that includes the Waco and Tawakoni—are indigenous to north Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. That geographic history is present in the meaning of the name given them by French traders from Louisiana: “coming from the north.” Meanwhile, their traditional practice of facial tattooing provides the Wichita language name for the tribe: Kitikiti'sh, “raccoon-eyed people.”
If you refer to yourself as a Texan, that’s thanks to the Caddo language—our state’s name derives from “taysha,” the Caddo word for “friends” or “allies,” which became “Tejas” in Spanish.

A great example of important re-purposing of a magnificent property. While this is not a Granbury, Hood County story, it is an example of significant preservation. The Bridge Street History Center is, also, an example of a very important historic structure preserved for the future and telling a part of the story that is Granbury.The Kansas City Museum is a museum located in Kansas City, Missouri, United States. Housed in a historic 1910 Beaux-Arts style mansion and private estate of lumber baron and civic leader Robert A. Long, the Kansas City Museum became a public museum in 1940. Seventy-five years later, the Museum is under extensive renovation. Photo by Ed Hartman
