This is a great place to start your tour of Beaumont by seeing where "it all began" for the city and Southeast Texas. Gladys City also frequently offers family-friendly events, so check their website for the latest happenings. This is a must-see, especially for all the history lovers out there!

My first impression was "WOW!!!" The elderly lady working there was very knowledgable. She seemed very excited that I stopped by. She took time to show me around and I wasn't her only guest. I thought the displays excellent. I will go back anytime I'm in the area.

Lot of very nice displays showing early oil history in SE Texas and life there during that time period.

We were there (by chance) for the opening of the new Print Shop. It is a working Print Shop. As time goes on, hopefully they will get more things up and running. The history here is very interesting. Needs some better signage so you know what you're looking at. The movie was excellent.

Had a wonderful time with my grand children both boys and girls. A hidden gem.

Made me feel like I was back in time. Quick self-guided tour on lunch break. Would be nice to see a re-enactment... see the town come alive!
