About Dan Moody
Born in 1893 in Taylor, Texas, Dan Moody grew up to be the youngest governor of Texas. As a small boy, Dan worked on the family dairy farm and later found work as an electrician. As District Attorney, he accomplished a task that no one else had ever dreamed possible: he was the first person to successfully prosecute and convict a member of the Ku Klux Klan for a crime in 1923. Governor Moody served two terms from 1927 to 1931 and later opened a law office in Austin, Texas.

His family home has been fully restored and still contains many of the family heirlooms and furnishings.

The Moody Museum Board is an eleven member advisory board that meets one Monday evening a month.  This board is made up of enthusiastic volunteers who make recommendations to the City Council regarding the maintenance and operation of the Museum.
