Why you should go…
Blue Bell began in Brenham in 1907 as the Brenham Creamery Company and took its current name in 1930 after the Texas bluebell. At the visitor center on South Blue Bell Road, a self-guided museum covers more than a century of company history. From the observation deck you look down on ice cream being made while staff answer questions. The parlor serves hand-dipped scoops, including selections you will not find in stores, and the Country Store sells Blue Bell gifts.
