Fact Vs. Fiction in Galveston History - Foundation Conversations

Join us for a lively lunchtime lecture that separates tall tales from true history as we dive into the colorful past of Galveston Island! From pirate legends and buried treasure to the bustling days of "the Wall Street of the South," we’ll explore what’s fact, what’s fiction, and what might be a little bit of both. This engaging talk offers a fun and informative look at how Galveston’s myths have shaped its identity—and how history often proves even more fascinating than folklore. Bring your curiosity (and your lunch!) for a midday journey through time.

You are welcome to bring your own lunch to enjoy. Lunch will not be provided.

This presentation will also be streamed free of charge for all Galveston Historical Foundation members as part of their #GalvestonHistory+ account. Access will start at 11:15 a.m. on August 13th.

Virtual tickets are available for guests who would like to view the livestream but who are not members. A link will be sent prior to the event with instructions on viewing.
