Starting at the 1859 St. Joseph’s German Catholic Church, Galveston Historical Foundation hosts a 60-minute guided Sacred Places Walking Tour, leading groups to visit a dozen of the most historic places of worship around downtown Galveston.

Groups will learn learn the history of those denominations and their clergy, from Sumner Bacon—the first Presbyterian missionary in Texas who was denied a preaching license because he was illiterate—to Rabbi Henry Cohen—who funneled thousands of Jewish refugees into the American Midwest.

Tour experiences are led by an authorized representative of Galveston Historical Foundation and feature authentic and researched stories and histories.
