The cattle industry is one of the most vital elements of Texas’s history, and one of the most interesting places to learn about it is at the Butler Longhorn Museum, which once served as the private residence of banker Walter Hall.

The longhorn cattle after which this place are named are iconic beasts of the Texas prairie, with huge horns projecting from their heads, and the Butler Longhorn Museum celebrates their lives in fascinating ways. The museum’s collection of horns is slated to be included in the Guinness Book of World Records as one of the largest in the world. In addition to the horns, the museum boasts many other interesting exhibits. The museum regularly displays artwork from League City-area creative people, and private events are booked in the facility.

The grounds of the museum are also very well maintained, and many visitors just enjoy wandering them on pleasant days.

Frozen yogurt has become a hip and trendy dessert option in the last decade, with many new chains opening up to capitalize on the desire for something cool, creamy, and a little bit healthier than ice cream. In League City, locals know that the place to go for a fro-yo fix is YogurtBear.

This charming, locally-owned business offers delicious, probiotic-rich frozen yogurt in a dozen flavors. Regulars rave that the yogurt here isn’t too heavy; instead, it has a satisfying tartness and a thick, creamy consistency. Some favorite flavors include the peanut butter, which is rich and flavorful, as well antioxidant-rich pomegranate. Toppings vary from fresh fruit and nuts to syrupy sauces and bits of candy. You pay by cup size, not by the ounce, so feel free to fill your cup all the way to the top!

YogurtBear is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
