In September of 2021, a fire destroyed the Post.
The Post was just recovering from a flood due to
frozen pipes bursting, new roof, new AC, and
remodel of many areas of the post.
For more than 75 years, The American Legion
Post 490 has served veterans in the community.
American Legion Post 490 is the largest post
membership in Texas.
