Galveston is a city built on legends, but some of its most fascinating tales are the ones rarely told and the places you see every day. Authors Christine Ruiz Hopkins and Heidi Lutz bring you Secret Galveston: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful and Obscure.
Whether you’re a lifelong BOI (Born on Island) or a first-time visitor, this event will challenge what you think you know about Galveston. Join us for an afternoon of storytelling and book signing, and leave with a new appreciation for the hidden wonders right in our backyard.

Great Storm Talk & Tour
This tour starts at the Galveston County Museum where you will see artifacts such as the only-known inquest book, personal items and photographs.
Then, a guide will take you around town to see sites related to the storm. This tour lasts about 1.5 hours, and it can be customized to allow for less walking outside, if you prefer.
