Abstract

Collection of materials relating to the Brenham Creamery Company and to Blue Bell Ice Cream.

Scope and Contents of the Materials

Materials consist of correspondence, minutes, a list of stockholders, clippings, employment documentation, and papers detailing the history of the Brenham Creamery Company.

Collection Historical Note

A group of local businessmen in Brenham, Texas, decided to establish the Brenham Creamery Company and make butter from excess cream brought in by area farmers. A few years later, the creamery began making ice cream and delivering it to neighbors by horse and wagon. It was in 1930 that the company changed its name to Blue Bell Creameries after the native Texas bluebell wildflower. Butter was produced until 1958 when Blue Bell began to focus full time on making ice cream.
