parts of the last home of Jefferson Davis have reopened to
tourists.
The Beauvoir museum was destroyed in August 2005. Yesterday
(Monday) the grounds and a temporary exhibit in the gift shop
reopened, after extensive repairs.
The Beauvoir house itself won't open to the public until June
3rd, which is Jefferson Davis' birthday.
Museum Curator Richard Flowers isn't just telling visitors about
the history of the Confederacy. Now he's also telling the story of
Katrina.
The exhibit in the gift shop is free, but visitors do have to
pay for a tour of the grounds to see how Katrina affected the 52
acres.
Flowers says the work is continuing. He says the museum isn't
fully back and won't be for a while but that it feels great to have
people back in on the property.
