Description

Dating back to 1839, the Tremont House in Galveston holds a storied history, witnessing Sam Houston's address and serving as a residence for both Confederate and Union soldiers. Despite facing a tragic fire in 1865 and the devastating 1900 hurricane, the hotel was resurrected by George and Cynthia Mitchell in 1981, sparking the revitalization of Galveston's historic downtown. Today, the 3rd rendition of the Tremont House offers guests a unique glimpse into the past while preserving its legacy for generations to come.Galveston Unscripted What is Galveston Unscripted?Follow Galveston Unscripted on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!
