Rich in oil heritage, Beaumont offers group friendly attractions along with top-notch accommodations and legendary southern hospitality. Visit the Spindletop Gladys City Boomtown Museum where living history re-enactors will take you back to that fateful day January 10, 1901 when the Lucas Gusher exploded hundreds of feet into the Beaumont sky putting Beaumont on the map. The boomtown replica captures the spirit of the Spindletop era with authentically restored clapboard buildings and artifacts.
After experiencing a gusher of good times, drive over to Beaumont's Historic Museum District, located in the heart of downtown Beaumont on the Neches River. Discover the beginnings of the Texas oil industry at the Texas Energy Museum where cinematic robots will depict three generations of an oilfield family and tell the colorful story of the petrochemical industry.
Just a block from the Texas Energy Museum, The Fire Museum of Texas is housed in Beaumont's 1927 Fire Department Headquarter Station. It's the state's official fire museum and houses an expansive collection of vintage firefighting equipment, newspaper clippings and a gift shop.
