Fact Vs. Fiction in Galveston History

Join us for a lively lunchtime lecture that separates tall tales from true history as we dive into the colorful past of Galveston Island! From pirate legends and buried treasure to the bustling days of “the Wall Street of the South,” we’ll explore what’s fact, what’s fiction, and what might be a little bit of both. This engaging talk offers a fun and informative look at how Galveston’s myths have shaped its identity—and how history often proves even more fascinating than folklore. Bring your curiosity (and your lunch!) for a midday journey through time.
