Eagle Lake: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Eagle Lake is a small city located in Colorado County, Texas. The city gets its name from the nearby lake, which is one of the largest natural lakes in Texas. The area has a rich history tied to agriculture, particularly rice farming, which has been a significant part of the local economy since the early 1900s.

Eagle Lake is known as the "Goose Hunting Capital of the World" due to its location along major migratory bird routes, attracting numerous waterfowl during migration seasons. The community maintains its small-town character while preserving its cultural heritage through various local events and historical sites. The region's natural environment and wildlife have influenced the development of local art and cultural activities, though the city's cultural institutions remain modest in scale.
