SUE DURIO
In Galveston's East End Historic District
you'll find the 1892 Bishop's Palace, considered
one of the most significant Victorian residences
in the country. Get a rare look at some of its offlimits
rooms in a tour but put your walking
shoes on; there are about 100 stairs to climb!
If all that walking has built up an appetite,
head over to Maceo Spice & Import, another
historic landmark with a dash of culinary
delights. Once inside the unassuming storefront,
you'll be greeted with shelves overflowing with
fresh spices and specialty import foods. While
waiting for your order of gumbo or one of the
famous muffalettas, browse the photos and
memorabilia on the walls tracing the store's
history back to 1944.
A TRIBUTE TO TRANSPORTATION
At the edge of the historic Strand District lies
another fascinating look into the past, the
Galveston Railroad Museum. Here you can
walk through restored railcars, learn the littleknown
stories of the Orphan Trains that brought
orphans westward from New York, and try your
hand as a conductor in the museum's simulator.
Even the airport is teeming with lore.
Scholes International Airport, known as
Scholes Field (GLS), first opened in 1932 to
support the city's thriving entertainment
venues. Named for its first airport manager
Bob Scholes, it consisted of two runways made
primarily of crushed seashells. In 1942, the U.S.
Army re-designated the airfield for World War
II, improving runways and adding facilities.
After the war, the city reassumed ownership,
building the current terminal building, at the
time perhaps the finest example of airport
architecture. In 2008, Hurricane Ike covered
the airport with 12 feet of storm surge, damaging
33 aircraft and the terminal, and destroying most
of its hangars. The terminal was renovated and
reopened in 2011. Sue Durio is a freelance
writer and aviation enthusiast who flies with her
husband in their Cessna 310.
In 1932, Scholes
Field consisted of
two runways made
primarily of crushed
seashells.
Getting There
Scholes Field (GLS) is located 45 miles
southeast of Houston and just minutes from
everything Galveston has to offer. The 74foot
tower is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily,
managing traffic inbound to and departing
Scholes' two 6,000-foot-long runways. FBO
Island Jet Center waives landing/tiedown fees
with fuel purchase; both jet and aviation fuel are
available. Want to protect your bird from salt
air? Ask in advance about a short-term hangar
rental. The airport's observation deck is a great
spot to catch airport goings-on, or for a truly
unique island perspective, book a biplane tour.
