Ghosts of Galveston

Ghosts of Galveston

In the 19th Century, tragedies washed over Galveston as regularly as the tides: deadly fires, yellow-fever epidemics, and hurricanes. Anecdotally, this legacy of destruction left Galveston one of the nation’s most haunted cities. Even for travelers without a taste for the macabre, the wide range of said-to-be-haunted sites offers a fascinating glimpse into Galveston’s colorful past.

Juneteenth National Independence Day & Galveston!!!

Just another historic day in Galveston, Texas! This island has many first! We are a very proud little island city, at the very least! We can go back to Galveston's history and find our city ahead of time. On June 19th 1865 on The Strand at 22nd street Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3, which demanded: "absolute equality" among enslaved people and slaveholders.
