The Wooden Paver
Artifacts. Stories.
In Episode 1 of my video series, Artifacts. Stories., Rosenberg Library’s Museum Curator, Eleanor Barton, shows a wooden paver that was used to pave Market Street in the 1800s. The story takes us to the modern-day reconstruction of Galveston’s Market Street and to The Strand, where we discuss what life was actually like when that paver was in use.
