Class | Registration opens 4/6/2026 9:00 AM CDT

Join the co-author of Galveston: A City on Stilts for a presentation about the seawall and grade-raising of Galveston. These great engineering projects took place after the 1900 Storm to fortify the island against future hurricanes. The presentation features photographs from the Zeva B. Edworthy collection at the Galveston County Museum.
