A Visit to Beauvoir

www.beauvoir.org  I had a great time with Daddy, Mama, and Grandbob on December 23 in Biloxi, MS  at Beauvoir, the home of Jefferson Davis.   We had studied the Civil War this year, so it was special to learn more about where Jefferson Davis lived, and how Christmas was celebrated in the 1800s.  I met "Father Christmas," made some Christmas crafts and played checkers on a big board...and we all sang in a "Community Sing-Along."  Oh, and we met Jefferson Davis' grandson who manages the home now, oh, and JEFFERSON DAVIS HIMSELF....!








 
Jefferson Davis' great-great grandson.  A Southern pedigree if there ever was one....












 Jefferson Davis taught me that this is how gentlemen posed for pictures back in the day....
