Visitors to the Verdier House Museum will experience the sights and sounds of Beaufort's coast defense heritage from the Spanish-American War through the opening years of the 20th century in a multi-media exhibit. Artifacts and period pieces assembled from museums and private collections tell the story of the important role Ft Freemont played during this historic period. The John Mark Verdier House is located at 801 Bay St. Docent-guided tours are conducted Monday through Saturday once an hour on the half-hour from 10:30 am - 3:30 pm.
