The Galveston Historical Foundation (GHF), established in 1871, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the rich history and heritage of Galveston County. Through its multifaceted mission, GHF engages in community redevelopment, historic preservation advocacy, and maritime preservation, emphasizing the intersection of history with environmental and natural sciences.

One of GHF's notable projects is the Juneteenth exhibit, "And Still We Rise," located in the carriage house of the 1859 Ashton Villa. This interactive experience, overseen by the African American Heritage Committee, highlights the historical significance of Juneteenth and its journey toward equality, drawing from extensive interviews and historic documents.
