John Jay French Museum

Restored, 2-story pioneer home built in 1845, complete with period furnishings & household items.

Melanie does an excellent job describing John French’s story and the restoration of his home. My mother-in-law and I greatly enjoyed the guided tour. Educational and interesting. Highly recommend.

Friday was a cold and blustery day in Beaumont, TX. We decided to go to the John Jay French Museum. It is one of the oldest surviving houses on the Gulf Coast, and it is filled with original family belongings. We had a wonderful docent, Melanie, who told us many interesting stories about the family!

Excellent outgoing staff that love our history.
