Join GHF to enliven our preservation of historic Galveston Island.
Our work seeks to keep our historic buildings and neighborhoods of Galveston Island intact for the future. Learning from and simply enjoying a community rich in history and architecture makes for a better place to live each day. We believe that and devote our everyday work to keeping our history alive. We invite you:
- Purchase an endangered building
- Set sail on a rare 19th-century tall ship
- Walk the sacred halls
- Climb to the top of one of America’s most famous houses
- Host your family and friends in a rare 1880s dance hall
- Learn about the men and women who shaped all levels of Galveston
Join GHF to keep our stories alive. As we near our 150th anniversary in 2021, we continue to find new and exciting ways to keep the incredible story of Galveston’s history alive.
In the 1950s the directors of GHF voted to merge with the long-established GHS to set a new direction of preserving important local buildings and using them to educate residents and visitors. They engaged history to tourism and opened the first historic house of Samuel May and Ellen Williams to visitors. Their vision continues in the hands of our board, staff, volunteers, and members.
We invite you to join us to make history happen.
