Juneteenth Celebration

The 1863 Emancipation Proclamation meant nothing to enslaved people where Union forces did not occupy. This freedom did not occur in Galveston, Texas until June 19, 1865, three months after the Civil War officially ended in April.

For decades, Texans and residents of other states have been commemorating Juneteenth or June 19th as the day of freedom for all formerly enslaved people. The day was proclaimed a national holiday in June 2021.

In partnership with the Slave Dwelling Project, Magnolia will host an all day Juneteenth program in lieu of our From Slavery to Freedom Tour. Join Joseph McGill and Living Historians from the Slave Dwelling Project as they call attention to the agency of enslaved people through cooking, blacksmithing, brick making and storytelling demonstrations. Included with garden admission!

Learn more about the Slave Dwelling Project and the meaning behind Juneteenth. Honor and recognize the Emancipation of those who were once enslaved.
