Welcome To Eagle Lake, Texas Greetings, On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, Mayor and City Council, Welcome to Eagle Lake! We have been known for decades as the “Goose Hunting Capital of the World,â€? but there is much more than hunting that our community has to offer. If you have never been to Eagle /DNH RU LI LW¡V EHHQ D ZKLOH VLQFH \RX have, explore the pages of this guide to sample only a few of the reasons to visit or make us your hometown. Eagle Lake is located in southeast Colorado County, on US Highway 90A, some 60 miles West of Houston, 140 miles East of San Antonio, and 100 miles Southeast of Austin. Highways serving the community are US Hwy 90A, Texas FM 102, FM 3013, FM 1093 and 12 miles to the North is Interstate 10. One of our greatest assets is the people of Eagle Lake and the surrounding areas. However, we recognize that it is business that provides
the fuel that runs our economy, provides jobs to our residents and it is business that makes the investments of money and other resources that keep our community strong. This guide will furnish you with valuable information about the community, our rich history and the wealth of opportunities that await you in Eagle Lake and its surrounding areas. The Eagle Lake area has long been an agricultural community. Rice is the major crop; however, cotton, grains, and cattle production are also important to our economy. Sand and gravel mines around Eagle Lake supply the materials for construction to a large part of southeast Texas. Today, Eagle Lake and surrounding areas are diversifying their economy with a strong emphasis on bringing new industry into the area, as well as helping existing business prosper and grow. 5LFH ÀHOGV DORQJ ZLWK WKH ODUJHVW private lake in the State of Texas, Eagle Lake, provide a wintering ground

Located on Main Street in downtown Eagle Lake, The Prairie Edge Museum was created to preserve and record important information about the natural and cultural history of the Eagle Lake past and present for the education and enjoyment of all. The museum was established in 1983 and incorporates exhibits that feature plant and animal life from the Ice Age to present time. Exhibits include artifacts that explore the prehistoric Native American cultures, trials and tribulations of pioneers, agriculturalists, homemakers, modern life styles, and effects of human intrusions into the prairie edge environment. There is also documentation of the role of local citizens in politics, education, journalism, agriculture, athletics, conservation, the military and more. The Prairie Edge Museum Thrift Shop is open the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month from 9AM to 1PM. The Thrift Shop located at the Museum provides the community an outlet for recycling their clothing and household goods while also giving them an opportunity to purchase gently used items at a reasonable price. Staffed totally by volunteers, the Thrift Shop is the major fundraiser for the museum, allowing us to open the Museum 7 days a week at no charge to the public. The museum is located at 408 East Main Street and is open from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm Monday through Friday and 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm Saturdays and Sundays. Website: www. prairieedgemuseum.org
