Join a historic walking tour of Galveston's Red Light District and return to a time when the mob ran the city. Accompanied by a guide, enter The Free State of Galveston, a whimsical name given to the coastal city of Texas during the early-to-mid-20th century where the only rules were mob rules.

Begin your tour at Galveston's Red Light District. Follow your guide and learn how Post Office Street was once home to 55 houses of prostitution. Explore the former heartland of gambling and illegal liquor that was not only tolerated but supported by both citizens and local government.
See how everyone was enjoying their own Vegas dream right here in Galveston during the early-to-mid-20th century. Dive into the history of the stars of the era including world-class entertainers such as Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin who were brought in to perform in the casinos.
