    @GalvestonHistory announces that Executive Directo @GalvestonHistory announces that Executive Director Dwayne Jones, PhD will conclude his tenure as Executive Director on June 30th after 20 years of dedicated service to the preservation of Galveston’s rich architectural and cultural heritage.

Hired in 2006, Jones leaves an inspiring legacy of preservation, resilience, and growth. During his tenure, the organization acquired the historic 1892 Gresham House (Bishop’s Palace), 1920 City National Bank Building, 1904 GH&H Depot, 1838 Menard House, 1859 Ashton Villa, Santa Fe building, and other smaller architectural sites. In addition, significant books on local history and architecture were published, accompanied by robust interactive platforms at many GHF sites for tourists and the community. GHF’s signature events, including Dickens on The Strand and the Galveston Historic Homes Tour, continue to play a vital role in advancing Galveston’s heritage tourism and local economy. Most recently, GHF began a $3 million restoration of the roof of Bishop’s Palace and has prepared the 1877 Tall Ship ELISSA for participation in Sail 250.

He guided the Foundation through Hurricane Ike and the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring the continuity of its mission during those challenging times, while protecting staff, programs, and historic assets. Under his leadership, transformative projects such as Hendley Green and Saengerfest Park deepened the Foundation’s presence on the island and expanded its community impact. Through the organization’s Revolving Fund, Jones also helped preserve numerous historic homes and commercial buildings, leaving an enduring mark on the island’s historic landscape. During this period, the Foundation also experienced significant growth in both assets and operations, supported by a dedicated board of trustees, professional staff, loyal members, and committed volunteers who strengthened the organization’s capacity and impact across the community.

GHF’s Board of Directors will meet this month to appoint an interim executive director and finalize the search process for a permanent director. The Board also expressed its deep appreciation for Jones’s leadership.
