Galveston: A Treasure Trove of Texas and Southwest Material Culture

Historically rich Galveston Island is the setting for this study trip led by experts from Bayou Bend's staff! Participants enjoy special access and customized experiences at three remarkable venues: the 1892 Bishop’s Palace, a National Historic Landmark and one of the most significant Victorian residences in the country; the 1904 Rosenberg Library, the principal repository of Galveston’s historical heritage; and the new Bryan Museum, featuring a major collection of historical artifacts, documents, and artwork from the southwestern United States and housed in a spectacular 1902 structure that served as an orphanage for many decades.
