Learn about the Granbury Light Plant that was in operation from 1904-1954. Volunteer citizens Weldon Newman, Tom Wells, Loren Wilson, and former mayor Hugh Raupe, in conjunction with local organizations and government, restored the light plant, and it received a Texas Historical Marker. The story of the restoration effort is from a 1991 article in the Hood County News, transcribed by Janet Stephenson of Granbury. http://www.granbury.com/~ancestor/z/biog/LightPlant.htm Text of Texas Historical Marker: "Before 1923, privately owned light companies supplied electricity to the citizens of Granbury. In that year, the residents voted to build and own their own power plant. The city purchased the Granbury water, ice, light and power company and built this structure to house the new plant. Constructed by the municipal engineering company, the industrial building still houses the diesel engines and other machinery that generated electricity until the plant closed in 1954."
