Understanding the Historic District starts with understanding local history, so we asked Larry Groebe – Communications Director for the Grapevine Historical Society – to walk us through the early decades of this community. As he breaks down the decades that defined Grape Vine (and, later, Grapevine), we'll discover which things have changed, which almost weren't preserved, and which have been part of Grapevine's DNA from the beginning.

More importantly, we'll hear why the City still feels authentic after 180 years of change.
