The 1877 Tall Ship ELISSA returns! Join us Saturday, August 15, for a day celebrating the ship's return from her Galveston 250 voyage.

Preserving one of America's most celebrated historic homes requires more than restoring stone, wood, and stained glass. It also means carefully managing the surrounding landscape.

It is with deep gratitude that I stand before you as the incoming president of Galveston Historical Foundation. For me, this moment is both a professional achievement and profoundly personal.
