Galveston Historical Foundation opens the doors to
Galveston’s architectural history through public tours of
privately owned homes during its annual Galveston Historic
Homes Tour. Large, small, and everything in between, the
2023 tour will have something for everyone. Tours will be
held on May 6, 7, 13, and 14 from 10am to 6pm.
“The annual historic homes tour features everything
from recent large-scale residential restorations to small
livable coastal cottages,” explains Dwayne Jones, Galveston
Historical Foundation’s Executive Director.
“We are bringing some of the finest examples of historic
island properties to tour. The 2023 tour is once again a great
introduction to the island’s architecture for newcomers as
well as a familiar set of wonderful properties to those who
have attended GHF’s homes tours for years.”
In addition to the tours, the annual event features
numerous special events, allowing guests unique experiences
in many of the tour homes and historic sites across the
island. Special event tickets are only available online on the
GHF website.
