Beauvoir is a terrific attraction that was the only antebellum home to survive Katrina. While taking water damage they have done a great restoration job. The tour is packed with amazing historical info about Jefferson Davis and Beauvoir itself. Virtually all of the furniture and interior is original. A newly constructed museum and gift shop lies behind the home and... More

Very quiet at the time we visited, so had tour of the main house to ourselves. However there are only really four rooms to see. Lots of construction work going on at moment, so not conducive to walking about the grounds. Introductory film was informative.

Jefferson Davis's house, Beauvoir, is a very good stop if you want to add some education to your vacation. The guides are very well versed in their knowledge, and the brand new building is very nice. It saddened us however to see the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina. However, with the support of visitors and generous donors, it looks like... More

Intersting stop along the Gulf Coast. The grounds are full of bulldozers and dirt right now - wish I would have known this before our visit. They are replanting the gardens as they existed in the late 1800's and I'm sure it will be nice once it's done. It is run by the Confederate Sons of America, so I thought... More

A great place to stop in at during your Biloxi vacation. Jefferson Davis' (President of the Confederacy) beach house. Almost destroyed but put back very well. Not much for me to say but that this is history and we need to see these things.

I hadn't seen Beauvoir, Jefferson Davis' historic home, since it was nearly demolished during Katrina, and I was anxious to take a look at how the landmark had been recovered. I'm happy to say that it's lovely. They've done a wonderful job restoring what was damaged in the storm, and the extensive renovation process has given them the opportunity to... More

Great place to catch a glimpse of Southern history! A lot of Confederate memorabilia with a beautiful view of the Gulf coast. Walk the grounds among the huge live oak trees and you sort of get a glimpse of the past. Also the tour guides do a fantastic job of sharing stories if life in the Jefferson Davis household...

My 12 yr old grandaughter and I went on the tour here. I think we missed some things because we did go late. Wasnt many people here at this time. The tour guide was so nice, cant remember his name tho. he made us feel so welcome, didnt rush and explained many things to my grandaughter and talked to her... More

Even if you aren't interested in the Civil War this house/museum is worth a visit. It has a most interesting history involving Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy, because the guide was so thoroughly informed about history in general that he was a terrific presenter. He gave a good sidebar on hurricane history too. This site may seem inconsequential but... More
