Loved the tour complete with tour guide in period dress. Beautiful view of Gulf. Some areas under repair from storm damage and age but a lovely old home to visit. Much to learn about the period that Jefferson Davis lived at Beauvoir.

The tour was guided by a nice, well informed lady in period dress.Growing up in Alabama, I have read and heard about Jefferson Davis but I learned much more touring his last home. I especially liked the museum with the military displays.

It is obvious the docent on our tour loved our house and admired Jefferson Davis's character. She presented the place with passion and was happy to answer questions. The home was badly damaged in Hurricane Katrina, but has been restored very well with most of the house looking as it did before (exception was one room that had recently been through a tornado-bad place for a house, it seems!). Enjoyed our visit and highly recommend!
