The McFaddin-Ward House Museum

The McFaddin-Ward House was built in 1905-1906 in the distinctive Beaux-Arts Colonial style. The building and its furnishings reflect the lifestyle of the prominent family which lived in the house for 75 years.

The museum features admission-free tours of the historic home, educational programming, year-round events, a Carriage House exhibit, and gardens.

2. To preserve, interpret and share the legacy of the McFaddin family, and their contributions to the economic, social, and cultural history of Beaumont and the Texas Gulf Coast.
