Remember to Keep Beauvior in your prayers!!
As was feared, Beauvoir and the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library suffered heavy damage from Hurricane Katrina. These two structures can and will be restored given time and funding. However, it is with great sadness that the Library pavillion (where Jefferson Davis penned "The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government", the Hayes cottage, Soldier's Home Barracks replica, Confederate Soldier's Museum, Giftshop, and director's home were totally destroyed. Replicas of those buildings totally destroyed will be built after the restoration of Beauvoir House and Presidential Library are complete.
