Houston to Olde Town in Granbury:

  • From Houston, take US 290 northwest to Hempstead.
  • Turn north on Texas 6 toward Bryan/College Station.
  • Bypass Bryan/College Station and continue toward Waco.
  • Continue through Waco toward Valley Mills and Meridian
    (It may be a little tricky staying on
    Texas 6 as you approach Waco.
    The road is under construction there and the route may not be well
    marked.  If you find yourself on US 77 after you cross I-35, you've
    gotten off
    Texas 6.  Take I-35 south about 6 miles to exit 330 and
    turn right onto Texas-6 [north/west] and continue to
    Meridian, TX.)
  • As you come into Meridian, turn right on Texas 22 for about
    .7 miles then turn left on
    Texas 144.
  • Continue on Texas 144 through Walnut Springs and Glen Rose to
    Granbury.  (Texas 144 enters Glen Rose on Austin Rd,  turns left on
    Elm St then right on Barnard St. 
    Texas 144 comes to a 'T' at a
    four lane road - US 67.  It continues to the right coincident with
    US 67 for just less than 1 1/2 miles then turns left toward
    Granbury.)
  • Texas 144 becomes Morgan St when you enter Granbury. 
    Morgan St appears to stop at a 'T' at Pearl St. (Business 377 or
    377H); Martin's Funeral Home is on the near left corner. 
    Approach the intersection in the left lane and jog to the
    right to stay on
    Morgan St for one more block.
  • Turn right on Bridge St and drive through town.
  • 50 yards before Bridge St ends, turn left on Turner Circle.
