Fast-forward to today, and the same building still brings people together, just in a much sweeter way! Now home to the Silver Saddle Saloon, it’s a favorite hangout for ice cream, cocktails, and live music, keeping the tradition of community gathering alive and well.It’s amazing how the Granbury Square has evolved, still the heart of the town, just with a little more sprinkles and fun. 🤠 @followers ...

I believe half the stuff we have on our old farm came from this Western Auto ❤️
Bought my first shot gun there. Jesse Fant introduced me to buy through credit.
I miss our little hometown. Growth is always good, but this has gotten way out of hand.
