Join Authors Christine Ruiz Hopkins and Heidi Lutz for their "Secret Galveston" Book Launch at Moody Mansion.
Discover the hidden side of the Island with the authors of the new book, Secret Galveston: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful and Obscure. Published by Reedy Press, this guide delves into the lesser-known stories and quirky gems that make Galveston unique—from a crypt in a church to a bell that saved a thousand lives.
Whether you are a first-time visitor looking to go beyond the tourist traps or a local who thinks they’ve seen it all, you’re guaranteed to learn something new about the Island. Come meet the authors, hear the biggest surprises from their research, and get your copy signed.
Ticket link coming soon.
Tickets include wine and hors d'oeuvres and a tour of the home.
