The Blue Bell factory is the biggest tourist draw of the town. If you're a fan of ice cream, then join the masses in the summer, observe the factory at the observation deck, sample the sweets at the parlor, and pick up some trinkets at the country store.
Blue Bell Creameries is an American food company that manufactures and sells ice cream. As of 2015, Blue Bell was the #2 selling ice cream manufacturer in the United States. The company was originally founded in 1907, in the small town of Brenham, Texas. For much of its early history, the company manufactured both ice cream and butter locally. In the mid-20th century, it abandoned butter production and expanded to the entire state of Texas and soon much of the Southern United States. The company's corporate headquarters are located at the "Little Creamery" in Brenham, Texas, and since 1919, it has been in the hands of the Kruse family.
