I enjoyed this tour very much! The history in this house is amazing! Barbara was very informative and I will be back when the upper floors are open. Right now the 1st floor only is allowed due to COVID19 precautions. Beaumont has so much history and anyone interested in origins of our nation would be interested!

Awesome fancy house. Will take a hour to see the whole thing. Small children not reccomend they do not want anything touched.

The house and the grounds are beautiful. It’s like taking a step back in time to the early 1900s era. We really enjoyed our visit.

Very quaint and gorgeous place, lots of history here!

Dont miss going on this tour. Beautiful house with all of the personal belongings. Make sure you visit the carriage house.

Very cool experience. It really does bring you back in time. The fact that everything in the home is original and actually belonged to the family makes the experience that much better. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff as well. Also, very cheap at only five bucks a person. If youre considering going, do it! We drove over an hour on a Saturday afternoon to visit and it was well worth it.

Great place to visit in Beaumont, Texas. Enjoyable way to learn history of the Southeast Texas area. The house is incredible!

Wonderful tour. Very knowledgeable tour guide. Price was 5 dollars and well worth every penny. We took the early tour and not crowded. You do need to call and set your time, because they only allow a few people at a time. Its a full 1 hour tour

This place was a pleasure to visit. There was a lot of valuable information about the family and the history of the town. We had a great time. The house has been beautifully restored and kept up. The people in charge of the tours are knowledgeable and great to visit with. I love that the tours are lead by someone who knows about the family and the time period depicted in the home. Its well worth the time to visit!

We truly enjoyed and appreciated the whole experience. It was an authentic step back in time. The entire house was displayed and the narrative was complete yet succinct.

Tour was awesome! Beautiful house..What a piece of history!

Though Ive never been inside I looked around and I usually have gone to the Rose Garden out back and looked and smelled at the beautiful varieties they have is it supposed to reflect and do it be able to think

Very well kept landmark. Tour was good but long. About an hour and half. No pictures allowed. And you have to leave your purse in a locker so be prepared. We enjoyed all the info overall.

Very cool place. Its a really neat place to check out and learn a little bit about old Beaumont. We took the full tour, we were told it would be 45 min to 1 hour long. It took closer to 2 hours total.The staff was very friendly and happy to answer any questions. Both our tour guides were very informative.The property is extremely well taken care of, the house has a large array of items from the late 1800s to mid 1900s.The tour also covers the servants quarters. Not much to see but it is there.Overall a nice tour to take if you are either from the area or here looking for historical tours.

Beaumont has an absolute GEM with this house! The furnishings (all original to the home) are beautiful. Our docent was knowledgeable and interesting. The entire experience was warm and personal, as if the family still lived there. I highly recommend a tour of this historic house museum.

Excellent example of the upper class lifestyle of a Texas family from the 1860s. All original furnishings left by the family makes it very real. Had a wonderful tour guide who was very knowledgeable and personable. Enjoyed our time there very much!

A must if you’re visiting Beaumont. A step back in time.....when you enter this grand house you can feel the wonderful elegant life that was lived here. The house has been beautifully restored and with all the original furniture.

Always an interesting speaker. A great learning experience.

Wonderful tour and staff. Me and my wife did not make reservations and we arrived before a somewhat busy tour group. The manager kindly asked if we could come back, and was incredibly accommodating for us. Had a fantastic time and would recommend anybody thinking of visiting.

So glad we went to see this mansion & carriage house. Lots of stairs to climb but well worth it. Docent was terrific. She was very knowledgeable & fun to listen to. Obe note- no purses or cell phones allowed so be prepared.

A true gem of Beaumont. Museums of this quality are hard to come by and always worth visiting!

I always love visiting here at different times of the year. My kids enjoy it as well and we learn something new every time we go.

Historical plantation house. They have public speakers and live music on occasion.

Fantastic home. And the coach house across the street from the main house is a site to see. Full of history, knowledge, wealth, and beauty. Wonderful experience.if youre in the area is a MUST SEE.

Gorgeous home and staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Southern hospitality is still alive in Beaumont. The guides went out of their way to make this a good experience.

I simply adored this museum! Great staff! Wonderful things to see, a but of history!

Excellent example of turn off the 20th century architecture. Well curated museum shows life as it was lived by the wealthy family who owned it. Five dollar admission is a great deal. Free parking. Reservations needed for tour. No handicapped access.

This place was amazing! A must see. ..

Beautiful home with excellent guides. Well worth your time.

We stopped through for the Christmas open house. It was a splendid evening -- starting for us with the four-part acapella choir and then a tour through the McFaddin-Ward House. The Christmas lights on the front of the house and along the spacious porch would have made my night. Tour inside the house was well organized with very knowledgeable docent who did a great job of moving the visitors through. The somberness of the house at night was a surprise for me -- but electricity was a new thing back when this house was built.The evening finished with dulcimer concert back in the greeting house. If you love old splendid houses, you will not want to miss this one. The sites and the history will capture your imagination.

Loved it . I will be going again. Learn something new every time

Very impressive. Worth the drive and the $5.

This old family mansion and carriage house is awesome, only $5.00 to have docent take you all over the 3 story fully furnished home, go see This! Their last automobiles are also on display.

Gorgeous home and I love that the curator and author that walks you through the house knows so much about the history and cant answer any question

The people here are amazing and I loved it. Everyone needs to experience what I experienced here at McFadden Ward

Historic Beaumont family very beautiful and educational

Very interesting...thousands of historical artifacts offering peeks into lifestyle of turn of the century,rich and famous,local prominent families.

The McFaddin-Ward House tour was WONDERFUL!! The house was beautiful and with a real step back in time feeling. All the paintings were AMAZING!!!! I just want to live there!!! The garden was so pretty I wish it was my own. I fully recommend you to take this tour!!!

Photos were not allowed. I loved the house that smacked of old money you get a behind the scene look of how oil millionaires lived in the 30s and the 40s the tour guide was very informative Its worth 5 bucks any time

My favorite mansion!!

The McFadden mansion was beautiful. It shared some history on the settlement of Beaumont and the surrounding area.

Definitely a must-see while in Beaumont! Ive been on numerous tours and still learn something new every time!
