A proposal from the Texas Lions Museum and Office Foundation, Inc., passed a Resolution by vote in 2016-2017 to make the Texas Lions Museum and Office Foundation, Inc., to be recognized as an official project of the Lions of Texas. This was approved by a vote at the MD-2 State Convention held on May 18, 2017.
As this new Lions year begins, we are crossing the bridge to continue working on your Texas Lions Museum. A logo has been created for the museum……Bridging the Past to the Future of Lionism.
Progress has and is being made. Please watch for new pictures in the upcoming weeks. The Foundation is working to move forward in these endeavors.
The Texas Lions Museum offers visitors a meaningful journey through the legacy of service, leadership, and community impact exemplified by Lions Clubs across Texas and beyond. Each exhibit tells a story—not only of where we have been, but of how shared values and collective effort can shape what comes next. One of the museum’s most compelling themes is the idea of bridge building—connecting generations, communities, and causes. The stories preserved here reflect decades of volunteerism, civic responsibility, and compassionate leadership. These lessons remain just as relevant today as they were when they were first written into history. Understanding them provides perspective, context, and guidance for future leaders, entrepreneurs, and citizens. Why does history matter to the future? Because it reveals what works and celebrates the champions that dared to give their time, talent and stewardship. It shows us how challenges were met, how communities rallied, and how individuals stepped forward to serve something larger than themselves. In an era of rapid change, history grounds us. It reminds us that progress is not accidental—it is built intentionally, one decision and one act of service at a time. The Texas Lions Museum is ideal for families, students, civic groups, and visitors who want more than a passive experience. It is a place to reflect, to learn, and to be inspired by real examples of leadership in action. Whether you are a lifelong Texan or visiting the Hill Country for the first time, the museum offers insight into how strong values and community engagement create lasting impact. We invite you to visit the Texas Lions Museum and experience firsthand how preserving history strengthens the future. Step inside, explore the stories, and see how the past continues to guide tomorrow—right here in Kerrville. Texas Lions Museum Ebb was born May 7, 1931, in Abilene to E.
