    Today, we celebrate the birthday of the "Galveston Today, we celebrate the birthday of the "Galveston Giant," Jack Johnson. Born on this day in 1878, Galveston’s own heavyweight champion (1908–1915) left a legacy that extends far beyond the ring. His is a story of resilience, excellence, and cultural impact. A reminder that Galveston has long been home to individuals who impact history.

Johnson rose from the island’s working-class neighborhoods to become the first Black heavyweight champion of the world, breaking barriers in a deeply segregated era. His skill, confidence, and defiance of social norms challenged expectations and reshaped the sport of boxing. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential boxers in history.

    Each year, @GalvestonHistory commissions an artist Each year, @GalvestonHistory commissions an artist to create our Homes Tour commemorative print. For 2026, that honor falls on Kathy Hammond. This year’s print will be available for purchase during the 52nd Annual Galveston Historic Homes Tour.

As a teenager—long before she understood the term plein air—Kathy Hammond was already painting and selling rocks while vacationing at Garner State Park. Those early experiences built her confidence and helped shape her decision to pursue a career in the arts.

Hammond’s work today is highly diverse, reflecting her strong interest in experimenting with a wide range of subject matter. While striving for accurate representation, she consistently incorporates unexpected elements into each piece—whether through color, pattern, or the inclusion of an object.

She worked as a mural artist in the Houston area from 1993 to 2023, following an earlier career as a graphic artist. Painting remains a daily practice, and she considers herself fortunate to have made a living through her passion. She discovered plein air painting around eight years ago and loves any opportunity to go out and paint with friends. Learn more at paintingsbykathy.com.

    Join us for March's Foundation Conversation at the Join us for March's Foundation Conversation at the 1859 Ashton Villa! This FREE presentation starts at 11:30 am on Tuesday, March 2, and is presented by members of GHF’s African American Heritage Committee. "Did You know Part II" features a new lineup of little-known facts about Galveston’s African American Community.

Galveston Historical Foundation’s African American Heritage Committee (AAHC) was established in 2002 at the 1859 Ashton Villa, when more than forty community members gathered with a shared passion for preserving the island’s Black history. Leading the charge was Maggie Williams—a Galveston native and retired schoolteacher—who was elected the committee’s first chair. Since its founding, this committee has dedicated itself to identifying, commemorating, and preserving historic sites important to African Americans and the Galveston community.

Bring your lunch and join us!x

    When you visit @tremonthouse be sure to pay a visi When you visit @tremonthouse be sure to pay a visit to the Toujouse Bar. 

Although the building that housed Mr. Toujouse’s saloon was demolished decades ago, his “first-class” bar was saved during the early 1960s. Purchased by a group of doctors, the exquisitely crafted bar and display cabinetry from the 1890s was relocated to a small building near the University of Texas Medical Branch, where it served as the focal point for the Seventh Street Saloon for several years. In 1979, the saloon was closed, and Toujouse’s bar was donated to us and placed in storage. 

In 1982, GHF reached an agreement with George Mitchell to place the bar in the lobby of the Tremont House, where it remains on permanent loan today.

However, the partnership with The Tremont House goes deeper than just the bar. We're happy to announce the renewal of a strategic partnership with the hotel, reaffirming a shared commitment to advancing heritage tourism and sustaining the island’s most celebrated cultural events.
