Belton is a small Texas city between Austin and Waco and the county seat of Bell County since 1852. There are many reminders of the town’s cotton-growing and shipping past, such as the historic, beautifully renovated cotton gin on the Nolan Creek, now a location of several great restaurants. Belton is home to the University of Mary Hardin–Baylor and of Bell Country Museum that preserves the local heritage and history. Nearby Belton lake reservoir provides water and flood control but also plenty of opportunities for recreation, especially boating and fishing. CDC information for travelers. Hours/availability may have changed.
