Explore Galveston History at Moody Mansion

Touring Moody Mansion is among the most popular things to do in Galveston, a restored historic home listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior since 1994 and a Recorded Texas Historical Landmark since 1967.

This restored Galveston house museum is open to the public daily for tours. Guests are welcome to tour the two main floors of the historic Moody Mansion, furnished in a variety of styles ranging from French Rococo to Classical Revival. All furnishings are original to the Moody family.

OUR NEWEST ROTATING EXHIBIT:

 

“Women of Moody Mansion” is our new exhibit about the three women who lived here during the early 1900s, and how they were shaped by their times and in turn how they shaped society as we know it today.  You’ll meet the mother, who ran the Moody household and guided her daughters through their early years, the eldest child, Mary Moody Northen, who inherited the family fortune and her father’s ability to manage it, and youngest child, Libbie Moody Thompson, who became a guiding force in the nation’s capital.

In addition to our normal self-guided tours, exclusive behind-the-scenes all-access tours with a knowledgeable guide are also available at 3:45 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays September through May, with advance booking. Tickets must be purchases and guests must check in by 3:30 on the day of the tour. The tour concludes at 5:30 p.m. Call (409) 261-3117 for dates, times, reservations and additional information.

These tours include access to areas of the house not normally open to visitors, and the number of people admitted for each tour is limited.

The Galveston Children’s Museum on the ground floor of Moody Mansion has a wealth of hands-on activities for children. A separate fee is charged for admission.
