Galveston Historical Foundation will present the 37th annual Galveston Historic Homes Tour Saturday, May 14, and Sunday, May 15, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This year’s Coastal Style tour includes 9 houses featuring a variety of styles from an 1871 Gulf Coast Cottage to a traditional Craftsman Bungalow built in 1924. As visitors tour the homes they will hear about Galveston’s unique and eclectic architecture styles and the influential and everyday citizens that built the houses that still stand today.
Advance tickets for the tour are $20 each and $25 per person. Numerous separately ticketed special events are also being held in conjunction with the Galveston Historic Homes Tour including the Basement to Attic Behind the Scenes Tours of Bishop’s Palace, Bike through History, and more. Tickets for the 2011 Historic Homes Tour as well as all special events are online at www.galvestonhistory.org.
