Beauvoir
Beauvoir is the retirement estate of Confederate President Jefferson Davis in Biloxi, Mississippi. Developed by planter-entrepreneur James Brown, the gulfside estate grew to encompass approximately 500 acres and was dominated by an imposing Louisiana raised cottage-style residence, constructed 1848-1851.
Unscathed by the war, the property passed from the Brown family in 1873 first to Frank Johnston and then to Sarah Anne Ellis Dorsey. Museum operations at Beauvoir began in 1941 with the opening of the main residence and Confederate cemetery for tours and have subsequently expanded to include a Confederate Museum, Davis Family Gallery, theatre, Tomb of the Unknown Confederate Soldier, Stars and Bars Gift Shop, and other features of interest on 52 landscaped acres. The estate is also slated to be the home of the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library, scheduled for completion in 1997. The new facility will contain an extensive library on Southern history, a portion of the personal library and papers of Jefferson Davis, a biographical exhibit on the Southern president and a theatre/lecture hall.
