Galveston Historic Homes Tour
May 1, 2, 8 & 9, 2010
Celebrating Historic Galveston’s Rebirth
Galveston Historical Foundation (GHF) has been at the heart of an extraordinary preservation movement on the island for more than 50 years. Since its inception in 1954, GHF has saved hundreds of Galveston’s most important treasures--from humble shotgun houses to Craftsman-style bungalows to nationally significant mansions, sacred landmarks, commercial buildings and maritime artifacts. Every year, in order to showcase the continuing success of the city’s revitalization efforts, GHF opens a diverse collection of restored homes and other buildings to the public during the first two weekends in May.
Advance tickets are $20, or $15 for Galveston Historical Foundation members. (Member tickets are sold only at GHF Headquarters, 502 20th Street.) Beginning May 1, 2010, the first day of the tour, tickets are $25. Special rates are available for group tours. For more information on advanced ticket sales call 409 765 7834.
Separately ticketed special events will augment the 2010 tour, including “First Impression: An Evening Preview” on April 30 and the annual Linen and Lace Mother’s Day Brunch on May 9. Additional information on the special events will be announced as details are finalized.
