The 1900 Storm has become known as the worst natural disaster to ever happen in the United States. On September 8th, 1900, the city of Galveston was forever changed! The city had no warning a storm was coming and the impact was devastating. Between six and twelve thousand people lost their lives. Neighborhoods were unrecognizable, left in total ruin. The debris created a 20 ft wall minimizing the damage done in the Historic District. Over one hundred years later the buildings are the only survivors left that endured the 1900 Storm. Join me on a 2-hour journey as I tell the stories of the storm. Hear personal stories of survival and loss as you see the locations where it all unfolded 122 years ago!

Thinking of getting a private tour of the 1900 Storm, any tips?

Hey everyone! I’m considering the Voices of the 1900 Storm private tour for my dad's birthday. He loves history, especially about natural disasters. I saw it lasts about 2 hours and includes a replica Ford Model-T cart, which sounds cool! Anyone been on this tour? What did you think? Is it worth it?

Voices of the 1900 Storm – Is it kid-friendly?

I'm thinking of taking my two kids on the Voices of the 1900 Storm tour. They’re 10 and 12. I heard some parts could be intense since it’s about a disaster. Should I be worried or is it more educational? I want them to learn but also enjoy it!
