Galveston Cemetery Tour – As Seen on Texas Country Reporter

Hear the stories behind the stones in one of the Island’s oldest cemeteries – where truth can truly be stranger than fiction. Join us in wandering through Trinity Episcopal Cemetery to hear stories from the past while enjoying beautiful sculptures from artists around the world. Your host is Kathleen Maca, the author of ‘Galveston’s Broadway Cemeteries’ and ‘Ghosts of Galveston.’ A local historian and writer, she has spent over 40 years researching historic cemeteries. We’ll meet in the Historic Broadway Cemetery District, where you’ll be introduced to some of Galveston’s former citizens – from heroes to villains, notorious to noteworthy. It will also be a great opportunity to take some photos to post for Halloween.
