Very very nice library with a museum on the top floor. It's not on the trolley stops but it has free parking. Worth adding to your trip itinerary to learn more about Galveston and even relax with a book.
MoreThe 4th floor exhibit is a must for anyone interested in the history of the island. They have first-hand, recorded accounts of the storm in addition to photos and artifacts that tell the story of the resilience of the people who lived during that time.
MoreBeautiful, historic building that is free to visit. The 1900 Storm exhibit and gallery on the 4th floor were well worth the time.
MoreThe Galveston Visitors Bureau steered us to the Rosenburg Library to find a display of the disastrous results of the 1900 hurricane. They had a room of photos that showed the total destruction and loss of lives.The library was built after the 1900 hurricane with funds donated by Henry Rosenburg. It has some very beautiful architecture inside, along with plenty of resources. Worth a visit.
MoreEach library across America has its own supporters. The design is well thought out and functional. Staff is friendly and professional.
