Nicest B&B property we've been to. The main house tour is the whipped cream topping. AWESOME Separate table breakfast both days - beautiful gardens and impeccably maintained - nice spacious rooms (we stayed in the Lady Bird) - and Shirley, the manager, is a fantastic host. We'll be back!

A one-hour tour of one of Jefferson's most historic - and haunted - locations. The Grove is an 1861 home that uniquely mirrors the history of the riverport city... and the ghost stories there go back over 100 years. The history of the home is fascinating; it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. Along with the history, though, you'll hear ghost stories from the owners and find out just what it's like to live in a haunted home. Come visit The Grove for a peek into Jefferson's past... and a few residents who may still be hanging around!
We did 4 guided tours in Jefferson and while they were all awesome, this one was my favorite. I loved hearing the history of the house and the feeling of happy spirits who are attached to it. Mitchell is a great story teller and historian. Make sure to put this one in your travel plans!

This is a small museum with a lot of interesting stuff in it. The owner gave us a guided tour and demonstrated things that I never believe would still be working 150+ years later. There isn't a cost, so if you have the time, this is really worth spending a few min. looking at. Oh. The owner is a Texas A&M grad. If you are too, be sure to let him know!
