The Bridge Street History Center

10/20/2026

We have heard that the Bridge Street History Center (the first Nutt House Hotel) is reopening in November after extensive upgrades. The Nutt House name started in 1879, when David Lee Nutt built a home on Bridge Street. It soon became Hood County's first hotel, and the family humorously named it The Nutt House. Today that building is the Bridge Street History Center. Stop in on your next visit to Granbury.

“The mission of The Bridge Street History Center is to collect, preserve, and interpret the life stories of the people of Granbury and Hood County, and to examine how they illuminate the History of America.”

Downtown Glen Rose,Tx circa 1925. This side of the town square caught fire from a wood burning stove in 1926. A fire brigade of buckets from the flowing well across the street by the Courthouse fought it to no avail! All but what is now Feast, the Karate Studio & the CVB building survived the flames.

There was a Crockett running a newspaper in Granbury, and he was David Crockett's grandson.

Ashley Wilson Crockett was born in Johnson County in 1857, twenty-one years after his grandfather died at the Alamo. His father was Robert Patton Crockett, one of David's sons. So Ashley grew up carrying one of the most famous names in Texas history without ever having met the man who made it famous.

He made his own way with printer's ink. The Hood County Genealogical and Historical Society records that he bought the Granbury Vidette in 1883 and renamed it the Granbury Graphic, sold it in 1907, and started another paper, the Granbury Tablet, in 1919.

He lived a long life in that town. Ashley Crockett died in Granbury on May 31, 1954, at the age of 96, and his obituary called him the only living grandson of David Crockett.

Then came that winter. Walt Disney put David Crockett on television, and within months coonskin caps were turning up on children all over America. A whole country fell in love with his grandfather.

Ashley missed it by a matter of months. He is buried in Granbury Cemetery, a long way from the Alamo and right at home in the town where he spent his life putting out the news.
