American Legion

This is American Legion Post 20 in Galveston, chartered in 1919, making it one of the oldest American Legion posts in the country and older than the national organization's own charter by about two weeks. Like other Legion posts, it operates as a veterans organization with a hall on the island that is open to both members and the public. The post has its own American Legion Riders chapter, a group of motorcyclists who ride together in support of veterans, families, and community causes, which makes it a genuinely rider connected stop rather than just a general social club. Reviewers note the hall has had recent renovations, including new paint and an island themed interior.
