Wonderful Historic Venue
about 1 month ago
Southern history could not be complete without the last home of Jefferson Davis included. The house tour guide really knew her stuff and the couple who showed us around the museum were beyond warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Planning another trip back in the fall. Only negative comment I could make was the times listed on the web weren't accurate.

This historic location is beautiful and has rebounded from Katrina. The grounds and the walk to the grave sites is great and the various flowers in bloom were lovely. The museum was amazing and informative.

A step back in time

This was the best 10.00(bought ticket online) I've spent in a very long time.
We were passing through and only planned to spend an hour, and ended up spending 3.
The hours is amazing, the library I cant even describe, but the grounds are so serene and peaceful. My favorite was the tribute to all the soldiers in the cemetery at the back of the property.
