One thing I would have loved to have done while in Beaumont is visit some of the historic homes in the area. Since I didn't have time to visit the homes in person, I paid them a visit online instead. One home that has a really good website with a virtual tour is the
McFaddin-Ward House, Historic House Museum. The website gives the history of the house, along with a virtual tour of the buildings and gardens. A short video can be viewed to learn more about the family who lived in the home. Educational programs are described and artifacts are highlighted. The museum also has a reserve library that may be visited by appointment only.
Visiting the McFaddin-Ward House via a virtual tour only made me want to visit it more. I love the floor plan used on the virtual tour. I think I'll save a copy of the floor plan so that I can build me one just like it some day!
