Brenham Creamery Company was founded in 1907 to make Butter from excess Milk produced by local Dairy Farms.  Four years later the Creamery started producing two gallons of Ice Cream a day.

Refrigerated Truck is

proudly displayed.

Visitors Center.

In 1930 Blenham Creamery was renamed Blue Bell Creamery to celebrate East Texas' favorite wildflower.

From Blue Bell's List of Slogans:  "Blue Bell's better than a county smile." 

Blue Bell held a Beatle Sweepstakes

to provide free tickets to The 

Beatles' performance at Sam Houston

Coliseum on August 19, 1965.

"Blue Bell tastes like the good old days."

The Company expanded its

services into Houston in

the 1960s.

Blue Bell's Little Free Library

is so popular that it needs to

be restocked with books.
