Honoring Confederate Heritage Through Education and Preservation
At Beauvoir, we revere our Confederate heritage and it is part of our mission to educate the general public on the lives of the Confederate Soldiers and the Lost Cause. We try to take you back into time and allow you to see history as it was lived in the 1860's as well as host events to memorialize those Confederate Soldiers that fought so hard for what they believed in.
