BEAUVOIR: THE JEFFERSON DAVIS HOME AND PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY
Biloxi, MS
Beauvoir is a National Historic Landmark. The site is the last home of the only President of the Confederacy: Jefferson Davis, and includes The Jefferson Davis Presidential Library and Museum, Research Library and Archives.
The Beauvoir Digital Collection contains a selection of items from Beauvoir: The Jefferson Davis Home and Presidential Library.
The Beauvoir Veteran Project (BVP), launched in 2014, offers a quantitative analysis of Mississippi’s Confederate home, which operated from 1903 until it closed its doors in 1957. On their website, there are biographies of residents, a page on the unique story of Beauvoir’s three African-American pensioners, lesson plans for teachers, and a spreadsheet of the data collected during the project. We hope this material will be of use to scholars, teachers, researchers, and the general public. If you have any question, please contact BVP director Dr. Susannah J. Ural.
