Belton, Texas
On the Chisholm Trail
Imagine a time when cattle were herded up North on the Chisholm Trail and Belton was one of the resting stops in the 1870's, even though founded in 1850. Known at that time for the Belton Merchants First Mondays where the best "Trading & Selling" occurred and everyone traveled to be there dressed in their best. Belton's Historic Downtown still hosts a revitalization of those days which is now called "Belton Market Days - Buying & Trading" every third Saturday of the month.
Historic Downtown
Our gorgeous, historic Bell County Courthouse sits among the historic square which is now home to several hospitable antique shops, the "Oldest Department Store in Texas" Cochran Blair & Potts, and the historic Beltonian Theater. Enjoy a walking tour of the oldest, historically marked homes in Belton; the homes of our ancestral merchants among others. Tour the South Belton Cemetery where Confederate Soldiers lay to rest and where stories remain. Home of the "Award Winning" Bell County Museum; schedule a personal or group tour or venture in for visit.
