Bishop's Palace, also known as Gresham's Castle, is an ornate 19,082-square-foot Victorian, located on Broadway Boulevard and 14th Street in the East End Historic District of Galveston. Today, the house is owned by the Galveston Historical Foundation and self-guided tours are available daily. A portion of each admission supports the preservation and restoration of the property.

The charming Victorian-era buildings of the Historic Downtown District beckon visitors with their ornate iron balconies and whimsical painted signs. The magnificent buildings, which date back to the late 1800s, are striking examples of this wealthy port town once dubbed the “Wall Street of the South.” Fortunately, many of these buildings survived the 1900 Storm without significant damage. Downtown encompasses four distinct areas, each with their own appeal – The Strand, Pier 21, Postoffice Street, and West Market. It also hosts some of Galveston’s biggest festivals and events.

The Galveston Railroad Museum is a railroad museum housed in the former Santa Fe Railroad station, at 25th and Strand in Galveston, Texas. The Museum is owned and operated by the Center for Transportation and Commerce, a non-profit organization.
