Built in 1906 by a local lumberman, the house was sold to the Chambers family in 1914. C. Homer and Edith Fuller Chambers moved into the home with their two young daughters, Ruth, 11 and Florence, 16 months old. The family cherished this home for the rest of their lives. While the Chambers daughters did go off to college, a fairly unusual occurrence in those days, both returned home and never married. Few changes occurred to the house or it's furnishings in nearly 90 years of Chambers family occupancy. The collection inside contains nearly all of the original family furniture and artifacts, most dating to a 1924 remodel. Very little was thrown away and they rarely purchased anything new. A truly unique tour awaits anyone wishing to see how an upper middle class family lived life during the 1920’s through 1940’s time period.
This lovely home stands in some contrast to the McFadden-Ward House just 3 blocks away. This house is more of an upper middle class home and it is interesting that both were maintained by old maid sisters for many decades. This house really is a trip back in time because almost nothing has been changed sine the 1920's. I loved the open floor plan and the plain, dark wood trim throughout. The tour was very well done and took over an hour even though my wife and I were the only ones there. We even got to hear a 1920's record played on the Victrola, which uses no electricity, but has very surprising tone quality and volume. A great old home to visit.

A beautiful Movie Palace. Go see a movie or a live show there. Everyone involved in its restoration and preservation should be very proud. Bravo!

. It is quite a complex. There is a real tugboat in the yard, a lot of statues, and there is a a dining room for private parties. The museum is two full stories high. It is very modern inside with an elevator. It has many displays of naudical items, full sized boats , various war displays, a large Boy Scout display with a canoe ,and a twelve glass case changing display featuring local talent. They have various events there, so check it out before you go. It really appeals to the guys, but I found it interesting too.

Free parking shaded by old trees. Free admission, donations appreciated. Super nice lady at the check in office where you need to register, then she lets you in. Wonderful stained glass windows. Beautiful baptismal with endless water feature into the cross laden pool below that makes a very peaceful bubbling sound. Gorgeous organ pipes above the entrance. This has a very European feel to it like most catholic churches where I grew up in Germany. Lots of gilding and beautiful marble floors. 2 beautiful side alters and a spectacular domed ceiling. Highly recommend you go see this place for yourself.

The Beaux-Arts Colonial-style house and its furnishings reflect the lifestyle of the prominent rancher's family who struck oil at Spindletop and made it their home for seventy-five years. Today, the museum offers docent-led tours of the house for guests 8-years and older, self-guided tours of the carriage house and gardens, as well as year-round events and programming. Through education and community outreach, the museum reaches a wide range of audiences.

Call for tour details and reservations.
Had a wonderful tour at the McFaddin House during December. The house was just absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. So interesting to see how Beaumont got started!

Your kids will love it here! The downstairs is full of antique fire engines and equipment. The upstairs is designed for kids to play and to become aware of safety... My boys got to meet the Fire Chief of Beaumont and have pictures with him at his desk. They loved it so much that they would have gladly gone back the next day
