Restored to its turn-of-the-century splendor, this 28,000-square-foot, four-story Galveston historic home was completed in 1895. The home has been 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.

Today, our guests visit 20 rooms on a tour that depicts the home life of a wealthy Texas family. The Moodys established one of the great American financial empires. Based on cotton, it grew to include banking, ranching, insurance, newspaper publishing, railroading, and hotels.

The 1895 Moody Mansion is committed to making its programs and historic site special needs accessible, and has a small elevator available for guests with wheelchairs or walkers. Check with our staff on arrival and they will make arrangements for the elevator's operation.
