http://www.wlbt.com/ lots of videos much better info commentary etc than on TV get the upgrade to Windows media Player number 10 Pres. Jeff Davis home still stands! just spoke with Larry McCluney, 1st Lt. Commander, Mississippi Division, SCV and he assures me that Beauvoir is salvageable!!! House - 65% of the main house still stands. The porch, windows, doors, column & front porch are gone, but the structure still stands. If the structural integrity is good, the house can be repaired. Status of contents is unknown until we're allowed back into the area. Library - The first floor is gone, the only thing left on the 1st floor was the statue of Davis which had a 3rd national draped across it. Davis' papers, along with his will, were moved upstairs, so they survived. Small home where Davis resided - survived Other buildings, such as the gift shop, are gone. To view the video of Beauvoir, go to http://www.wlbt.com/ then click on the 2nd Skycopter tour ... this is about 16 minutes long ... Beauvoir is about 9:35 on the film. We're looking at 2-3 years to repair/rebuilt. Beauvoir depends heavily on tourism for survival, which will present a critical problem while it's being repaired. It's even more critical now that we get the matching funds for the federal grant. Please consider fundraising within your chapters to help us preserve this piece of our heritage.
