Beauvoir, Jefferson Davis Home

Rich in history, Beauvoir is the stunning home of the only President of the Confederate States of America and the place where he penned his memoirs. The 51-acre estate, fronting the Gulf of Mexico, was also once the site of the Mississippi Confederate soldier’s home, which cared for hundreds of Southern veterans and their wives. The beautifully restored Beauvoir house, dominates the sprawling complex that includes a gift shop, historic cemetery, the Tomb of the Unknown Confederate Soldier and the magnificent view of the Mississippi Sound. Beauvoir truly lives up to her name – French for beautiful view or beautiful to see.
