1880 Garten Verein Overview

Galveston Historical Foundation (GHF) was formed as the Galveston Historical Society in 1871 and reincorporated in 1954 as a non-profit organization devoted to historic preservation and history in Galveston County.

Garten Verein offers a relaxing, historic and romantic setting for the best day of your life. Gather your family and friends at 1880 Garten Verein and enjoy a spectacular wedding day.
