We visited Beauvoir during a stay at Biloxi. Due to my interest in the Civil War it has long been on my bucket list. The Visitors’ Center presents Jefferson Davis’ life and is decorated with prints of War Between The States themed artwork. During the half-hour tour of the mansion the guide explained the history of the house, both before and after the Davis’ residence including how the local environmental forces, particularly heat and hurricanes, have influenced and affected the mansion and surrounding structures. After the mansion tour I walked through Varina Davis’ Rose Garden and the cemetery for Confederate Veterans and their spouses, including the Tomb of the Unknown Confederate Soldier. The property is owned by the Sons of Confederate Veterans and, as would be expected, Davis and Confederate veterans are treated with respect. The video in the Museum is strong on “The Lost Cause” but I would rate the rest of the presentation as within the realm of reasonable debate. Every grave in the cemetery is unapologetically decorated with a Confederate Battle Flag. I greatly enjoyed my visit to Beauvoir and applaud the efforts of the Sons to preserve it and the history of the Confederacy. Tourists who would be offended by the sight of the Battle Flag or can only tolerate references to the Confederacy enwrapped in an apology should choose some other site. Those interested in the history of Jefferson Davis, the Confederacy or a balanced view of America’s past should not miss Beauvoir.

This is a great chance to look at a beautiful old home and discover some Confederate history. The cemetery is a beautiful place dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the south. The grounds are really nice. The library is also quite fascinating. Highly recommend.
