SunHerald.com : Celebration day: Beauvoir reopens on Davis' 200th birthday

SunHerald.com : Celebration day: Beauvoir reopens on Davis' 200th birthday: "The incongruity of people and sounds was obvious - women in hooped skirts, men in Confederate gray and cannon fire contrasted with moms in shorts pushing 21st century strollers and loud road repair machines. It would give Davis pause if he were to miraculously return on his 200th birthday, but he'd feel right at home. The house looks as it did when he left in 1889 and died in New Orleans."
