Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:
Beaumont, Texas, is best known for the oil discovery that sparked the colossal Texas oil boom of the early 1900s. The Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum pays tribute to that fascinating era, and is the perfect place to start an exploration of the city. Another standout attraction is the 1906 beaux arts, colonial McFaddin-Ward House. Due to the youngest McFaddin daughter’s copious documentation, docents can paint an accurate picture of what life was like for the wealthy of southeast Texas at the time. Beyond its captivating history, Beaumont offers visitors a variety of entertaining activities like a 15-acre alligator sanctuary, an interactive children’s museum, and a resilient botanical garden. Check out the South Texas State Fair in March.
