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!
2. The Grove
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 162 reviews
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!

We took a tour and the Oakwood Cemetery was on the route. Very interesting, we visited graves of past historical residents that were pretty famous for what life they had lived. Its a beautiful and well taken care of cemetery with old headstones that are just beautiful.
