Beaumont is proud of its vibrant past and is eager to preserve it. From monuments to museums to resplendent historic homes and churches, the area is filled with sites to satisfy the curiosity of history buffs and spark imagination about life in earlier times. Learn how the discovery of oil created a new destiny for Beaumont, previously a farming and lumber town, and transformed it into a dynamic center of culture and refinement built on the riches of black gold. Tour the museums dedicated to our oil history and heritage as well as those that preserve art, firefighting equipment, sports memorabilia and famous inventions. Wander through our historic homes that range from pioneer rustic to oil-boom opulent. The original owners were trappers, merchants, oil barons and cattlemen. Their residences, meticulously restored, tell the tale of the area's earlier days through family histories and the treasures they left behind.
