the trees where planed after the 1900 hurricane.so they are over 100 years old,the trees where greatly loved,hurricane ike was hard and to make the sculptures(by our artists)get the. history as it still lives on, More

These sculptures made from the trunks of trees downed by hurricane Ike are amazing. They are all in the same residential area, so it does not take much time to see a few or even all. More

The sculptures were actually pretty homely, but they're in a great neighborhood for those of us who appreciate architecture. My advice is to do it, but don't get hung up on the sculpture. Look at the marvelous Victorian homes, and later bungalows. That's the real treat of doing this self-guided tour. More

My daughter and I did this on our own on our way to dinner one evening. If you go to the Galveston tourism website you can print out a very good map that shows where the sculptures are located - some were a little hard to spot, but that made it even a little more fun. We would get out... More

One of the best things about Galveston prior to Hurricane Ike (which hit in Sept. 2008) were all the 100-plus year old oak trees lining Broadway Avenue and scattered across the city. The salt water killed most of the trees, but local artists have turned the tree stumps into works of art. They are quite unique and very well done. More
