The Galveston County Museum is in the former Galveston County Courthouse in Galveston, Texas. Since the museum is housed inside a county building, its hours are limited to Monday through Friday when the building is open. The museum is open to the public on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, while it opens for private tours on Tuesday and Thursday. 

 

After meeting with the museum's executive director, we decided to do something different to create awareness for the museum. We decided to launch a podcast called Unboxing History. Through a media partnership with i45NOW, the monthly podcast premieres on Pod NOW on i45NOW, which has a strong following and feeds into three VisitGalveston.com web pages. It has also given the museum added exposure for story opportunities as we announce and promote each monthly episode. 

 

The goal is to increase awareness, generate foot traffic and donations to the museum.
