The Cultural Center is located in the midst of the twelve Victorian homes of Heritage Park. It operates in the 100-year-old Galván House, the national award-winning center that provides a variety of cultural programs throughout the year showcasing the artistic and cultural diversity of Corpus Christi and South Texas.

The Cultural Center, located in Heritage Park at 1581 N. Chaparral, includes the Galván House, Courtyard, and Lytton Memorial Rose Garden. All are available for tours, business meetings and private rentals. 

The Corpus Christi Landmark's website offers information about this historical gem along with many others in the city (history of building and families or groups, architectual styles, archaeological sites, and much more). Click here for the Heritage Park History (PDF file; 280KB size).

Guided Tours of Heritage Park's Nine Victorian Homes

Heritage Park homes are operated by non-profit organizations whose volunteers welcome visitors to their homes. Special tours are led by Heritage Park's award-winning docents who volunteer their time to introduce visitors to the park and Corpus Christi's history.

 

Visitors are welcome throughout the year. If you are interested in the history of Corpus Christi, Heritage Park is a wonderful place to spend a few hours. Call for special tours available to schools, conventions and clubs.
