Overview

  • Discover the heartbreaking stories of survival, tragedy, and resilience from America's deadliest natural disaster.

    On September 8, 1900, a powerful hurricane forever changed Galveston. With little warning of its devastating strength, an estimated 6,000 to 12,000 lives were lost, entire areas were destroyed, and the once-thriving city was left in ruins.

    A massive wall of debris helped shield portions of Galveston's historic areas from even greater destruction. More than a century later, remarkable buildings still stand as silent witnesses to that fateful day.

    Join us on an unforgettable 2-hour guided journey through Galveston's historic streets. Visit locations where history unfolded, hear compelling personal stories of courage, heartbreak, and survival, and discover how Galveston rebuilt against unimaginable odds.

    More than a history tour, it's a powerful journey through the storm that changed Galveston forever!
