I have been intrigued by the building and this gave me a great reason to go check it out! I am giving this place five stars mainly because of the building itself! It is a great example of historically inspired architecture. It blends in perfectly with the motif and architecture of the historic downtown Grapevine area. The brochures in the visitors center are very organized and cover not only the Grapevine area, but also Fort Worth and Dallas as well. There is a nice working train display in the lobby. Grapevine leans heavily into its railroad history. Right now there is a very large space dedicated to Mayor William D. Tate's Jubilee Celebration of 50 years in office.

This is a great place to stop for information, be it local, or state-wide. There are several large racks with pamphlets on all sorts of great places to visit. It is staffed by friendly and helpful people, that can make recommendations on food, places to stay and things to do. I drop in occasionally, just to see if there is anything new. One of my favorite things to pick up is local maps. Two of my favorites are the "Granbury Cemetery Map" and the "Moments-in-time hike & bike trail" map. I'll attempt to upload both to the photos section. Oh, and on this visit I did lean of a new place, Alex's ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/alexs-pizza-pasta-and-subs-granbury ), and I picked up some info on the new distillery, Local Goat ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/local-goat-distillery-granbury-3 ).

If you're really nice you can get some free coffee or water. Well since it was about a million degrees today, I passed on the coffee and opted for the water. When you're there be sure to say hello to the really nice lady, Mary. She is running the operation here and really does a fantastic job. I really felt a warm welcome after talking to her. I hear that Stephanie is also doing a great job on social media. So even though I am mad at Plano for stealing millions of Californians away, I have to admit, this is a nice place to visit. Oh well. I guess I will have to keep on reminding Californians about how hot it gets in Texas.

A clever observer will note that the two business have different addresses. Hours are 11AM to 3PM, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Keller Station House Museum is across the street from the Wild Rose Heritage Center, which also lists itself as a museum So last week was the first I knew of the Keller Station House Museum. I went to a presentation at the Keller Public Library, given by Rollin Phipps. It was very interesting. I learned of general Texas railroad history, how this area came to have a train stop, and how the city of Keller got its name. Before I start on the next section of this review, I just want to say I am going to pop over to 136 Bates (later today) and grab a couple quick pictures so you (and yelp admins) can see that the Station House, and observe that it is not the same as the Heritage Center. Here is some info I received from that presentation (written by Rollin Phipps, used with permission): "To recognize the importance importance of the railroads to Keller, the Old Town Keller Foundation ( www.otkf.org ) decided to establish a museum displaying artifacts from the era of railroading. The foundation purchased a building across the street from the Wild Rose Center and began collecting train related items. In October, 2017 the museum officially opened to the public. The collection includes an Interurban Wait Station, a water tower, railroad uniforms and hats, a model train display, and various signs and crossing lights. The museum exhibits items which are of interest to both the young and hold. Even though the original Keller depot was torn down years ago, photos of that building remind us that the growth of the city has been tied to the men and women who worked on the railroads. Creating the Station House Museum took a little luck, some imagination, and finding the right display materials. In the early days of the museum, curators contacted rail fans from around the United States. One item was purchased from Minnesota, it required driving 1000 miles to get it to Keller. Another maintenance vehicle was shipped from Houston. Not all efforts have been successful. In December, the museum tried to acquire a caboose from a city near Waco. But after lengthy discussions the caboose remains in its home city. Some artifacts are extremely rare, for example there are only two remaining Interurban Wait Stations in Texas. During these last few months, the Keller curators have made friends with several railroad museums around the state." Bottom line: A very cool addition to Old Town Keller, especially as OTK continues to grow.
