I really learned a lot here about Jefferson Davis. The quality of the display items was quite high and our tour guide was very very good. His comments inspired me to buy a biography of Jefferson...

I enjoyed the tour a lot. They did an excellent work restoring the historical accuracy of the house and preserving it. White House of the Confederacy is a unique place to learn about American history and plunge into the everyday life and work of Jefferson Davis and his family. Although our tour guide was great, I would suggest adding more content on the history & politics of the American South and reducing the amount of information about their everyday routine. Potentially, they could run several tours for those who are interested to learn about various aspects of that era. Their souvenir shop deserves special attention! Make sure to check it out because they have some extraordinary artifacts that are not so easy to purchase online these days.

100% recommend. Our tour guides name is Charlie and I could of easily spent all day listening to all the knowledge that he has. Beyond incredible. We went for girl scouts and we had a large group. We were able to ask questions. Well worth the time and money.
