Thoroughly enjoyed visiting this beautiful and historical piece of property in Biloxi, Mississippi. Do not delay in visiting Beauvoir!
Not coming from the Usa I knew nothing about Jefferson Davis or who he was, after visiting Beauvoir I now have a better understanding of the man, his life and his causeThe house is a beautiful building which has been restored following Katrina, the damage caused by the storm allowed them to restore it back to how it once was, the guide explained all about the house, the furniture, each of the rooms and explained about the other buildings on the property Due to Katrina a lot of the properties were rebuilt so they are not original, the library and museum are also newThere are various displays in the main building which are interesting, they also restored the garden to how it was when the Davis family lived thereThe whole property is still being worked on following Katrina and can only get betterThe guide was a lovely gentleman who was very knowledgable and was more than willing to answer questions To save money you can find coupons in the various coupon books you can find, so instead of $12.50 per adult you can pay $10's eachWe were there almost 4 hours, if it had not been so cold and windy we probably would have been there longer, as we did not go in all the outer buildings, nor lingered in the groundsWell worth a visit and it can only improve
Mostly restored from Hurricane Katrina. This is the estate of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy. There are many intersting antiques on display and you can get a good look at what life must have been like for southern aristocracy. I enjoyed the history lesson and the view of the Gulf and beach.
Truly enjoy the visit. The tour guide was very informative. Well worth the price of admission. The restoration since Katrina was very well done.
A beautiful place to visit. We really enjoyed the history and grounds. A "must see" while in Biloxi!
Whether you are a history buff or not, this is a must visit! The restoration of the home and grounds is amazing. The library and gift shop are an added benefit to a visit here. As you step into the home for the guided tour it's almost like stepping back in time to the life of Jefferson Davis. If you are a history nut like I am you can feel yourself living in the 1800's just by visiting Beauvoir.
An affordable tour of wonderful artifacts and a small presidential library. The grounds and Confederate Cemetery are worth visiting as well. Discounts are available through AAA and area tourism magazines. Many pictures are shown that depict the damage from Katrina and the recovery cleanup. Many of these are in the Presidential Library.
Beautiful building and grounds with a museum and library. I am not a Civil War history buff but the visit was truly worthwhile. It is really a testimonial and monument to a failed confederate idea and dream and the person that was it's leader. Walk around the grounds and visit the cemetery. Ponies may come up to you and visit,
We toured Beauvoir on rather inclement day in the middle of February. It was still well worth visiting as a lot of things were inside. I enjoyed the tour and learning about the architecture of the main house, and the restoration efforts after Katrina.If you are an early American history buff this is definitely a good stop while visiting the area to learn more about Jefferson Davis.
This was a sad day for the employees of Beauvoir. They had had a funeral service for a long time employee that day. Everyone was still very helpful. Evelyn was INCREDIBLE! She spent lots of time answering my questions and going over information that would be helpful in my classroom. I could have listened to her all day. I thought the museum and the library were the best parts of the tour.
