Colonel, Moody Anderson bought himself a dying town called The Grove, Texas. Situated 85 miles north of Austin and 16 miles southeast of Gatesville in Coryell County, The Grove is a microcosm of Texas history-a scene of pioneers and cotton gins, gristmills and gunfights, and even a bank robbery. Over the next 37 years, this dedicated historian proceeded to create a living museum using The Grove as a backdrop. Moody filled the original intact buildings dating from the end of the nineteenth century with a unique collection of Texas memorabilia, some of which were used by the movie industry-starting with the 1985 classic television mini-series Lonesome Dove-and most recently, a Cohen Brothers remake of True Grit. In April 2010, at Moody's bequest, all of these artifacts, and even the town itself, were auctioned off to the highest bidder. Written by The Grove, Texas See less
