Waco Art Prints & Gifts

Waco Art — Home of Dr Pepper, Big Red and Baylor University

Waco has a stronger claim on Texas history than most people realize. Dr Pepper was invented here in 1885. Big Red was born here in 1937. Health Camp has been feeding Waco since 1949. Baylor University has anchored the city for over 175 years. These are not incidental details — they are the reason Waco has always had a distinct identity, long before anyone put it on a map for any other reason.

Betsy Crum has been photographing and painting Texas for thirty years, and Waco has always been worth the drive. The Big Red Dist. building against that enormous Central Texas sky. The Health Camp sign with its soft serve cone and its Big Red logo tucked in the corner. The Dr Pepper prints that belong here as much as they belong anywhere.

Waco Gifts and Central Texas Icons

Every Waco art print begins with Betsy Crum's own photograph or painting of a Central Texas landmark. Perfect for Waco natives, Baylor alumni, and anyone who knows that Central Texas deserves more credit than it gets.

Waco Art Questions

What is Waco famous for?
Dr Pepper, invented at a Waco drugstore in 1885 — making it older than Coca-Cola. Big Red followed in 1937, Health Camp opened on the traffic circle in 1949, and Baylor University has anchored the city for over 175 years. Waco's claim on Texas food-and-drink history runs deeper than almost any city its size.

What makes a good Waco or Baylor gift?
A print of a hometown icon — the Big Red building, the Health Camp sign, or a Dr Pepper piece. Favorites for Baylor grads, Waco natives, and anyone raised on a 10-2-4 schedule.

Waco gave the world Dr Pepper and never let anyone forget it — the tribute continues in Dr Pepper art. The rest of the state reports in at Texas wall art, Austin art prints sit just down I-35, and homesick Texan gifts reach the exes-of-Texas everywhere.
