It's a good thing I am from the South, or I'd have a very bad opinion on "Southern Hospitality" from this place. The tour guide in her "Southern" dress was completely rude. She kept barking at a child to stand up and pay attention even putting her hands on him once. Anyway, that is not how true Southerners treat people. The house is small and the grounds are easily walkable. Not a whole lot of history told on the house. She focused more on who first owned the house and gave it to Jefferson. Take pictures from the road, you won't miss much.

Went to this home last week. There was four adults. The tour person was very good and friendly. Don't forget to walk out to the cemetery on the property. There is also a museum upstairs in the other building if you want to see things related to the civil war. I went through it pretty quick but two other adults enjoyed it so much they watched the long movie that was upstairs.

Traveling through Biloxi and stumbled upon this gem. I’m always up for an adventure so I stopped to check it out. Jefferson Davis presidential library. $12.50 per person to tour his house? Staff very rude. No thanks! I’m out.
