Galveston Artillery Club

The Galveston Artillery Club, organized in 1840, is the oldest private club west of the Mississippi River. It is devoted to the preservation of the history of the Republic of Texas, of the State of Texas, and of those social traditions associated with the early history of Texas and the society that made Texas the great State that it is today.

The mission of the Galveston Artillery Club is to provide, in the context of a social club, an environment that remembers, maintains, and promotes the great heritage and traditions of the State of Texas.
