Join local author and historian Kathleen Maca for some holiday fun on a nostalgic stroll down Postoffice Street and learn what Christmas was like 100 years ago in 1924. Find out what gifts were all the rage, where locals did their shopping, and a few surprises along the way. You’ll never look at this historic district quite the same way again.

Your host Kathleen is the author of Galveston's Tremont House- A History, A History of the Hotel Galvez and three other books about local history.

We'll meet in front of MOD Coffee House at 2126 Postoffice Street to begin our journey into the past.
