Such a beautiful home and a small glimpse into our history. I highly recommend the house for your Banquet room event and amazing experience on our beautiful Galveston Island.

Beautiful home of one of the signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence, and one of the founders of the city of Galveston, Michel B Menard. Built in 1838 in Greek Revival style, it is the oldest home on the island.We werent able to find a way to visit the interior of the home; maybe can be visited by appointment through the Historical Foundation.

We should all throw a big haunted house!!!!

Its the oldest house on the island. Furnished with beautiful Antiques and textiles

What an amazing jewel on our Island!

Great history and staff!

Loved the self guided tour! Beautiful piece of history!

Such a beautiful home to visit!!!!I enjoyed all the historical furniture and the place is still under restoration.Definetly worth the money

Id love to revamp tour of this old place. Its a good old fashioned way of this island

Terrific place that accentuates a time forgotten.Guide was eccentricly refreshing.

Its an very nice place.

We were shown around by a Mr Osborne who wore period clothing. Mr Menard owned the oldest surviving structure in Galveston built in 1838. It was a pleasant place to visit and the items inside are of that period.

Beautiful early Victorian home once occupied by a signer of the Declaration of INDEPENDENCE.

One of the founders of the City of Galveston, Michel B. Menard arrived in Texas in 1829. He was born near Montreal in 1805. The Menard house, built in 1838, is in the Greek revival style. The furniture and furnishings, with few exceptions, all date from the first half of the 19th century (1800-1850s). They are of the federal, empire, regency, Biedermeier, and William IV styles, as interpreted by American, English, French and German artisans. Carpets, drapes and upholstery fabrics are reproductions appropriate for the period 1830-1850.Michel Menard died in 1856 and his descendants occupied the house until 1879. In 1880, the house was bought by Edwin N. Ketchum. Ketchum was police chief during the 1900 Storm. The Ketchum family owned the home until the 1970s. During the early 1990s, the house was in such disrepair, it was threatened with demolition by the City of Galveston. The house and property were donated to Galveston Historical Foundation in 2016 and is available for private events.

Beautiful home. A must see for those who appreciate early 1800s architecture.
