About Beauvoir

Beauvoir was the post-war home of Jefferson Davis from 1876 until his death in 1889, and it is a National Historic Landmark facing the Gulf of Mexico. You can take a guided tour of the restored 1852 raised cottage, then visit the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library, a Civil War museum and a Confederate cemetery with more than 780 burials. The house survived Hurricane Camille and was restored after Hurricane Katrina damaged it in 2005.
