Opened to the public in May 2009, the Butler Longhorn Museum is a unique cultural heritage destination in League City, Texas, just 20 miles southeast of Houston and minutes from NASA. It is dedicated to telling the story of local resident Milby Butler and his role in saving the iconic Texas Longhorn from extinction.
The museum is an ADA-compliant structure that houses unique artifacts, local art, history and science exhibits, multiple rentable spaces, and a gift shop. It documents not only the Longhorn bloodline but also the history of Galveston itself. The city developed around the Butler Ranch and Cattle Station and whose history stretches all the way back to before the Civil War.
After you tour the museum, take a leisurely stroll through the museum grounds. You can also visit the Ghirardi Italian Heritage homestead.
The Butler Longhorn Museum has many partners, who supported its development: Environmental Institute of Houston, The Butler Texas Longhorn Breeders, Texas Longhorn Breeders, Friends of the Butler Longhorn Museum and many more.
