Heritage Happy Hour - Moyle Manor

The Beaumont Heritage Society is bringing Heritage Happy Hour to Moyle Manor, a beautifully restored 1926 residence at 2090 Broadway, on Thursday, July 16th, 2026.
Join us for complimentary beer and wine by Giglio Distributing, great company with fellow history enthusiasts, and an opportunity to raise a glass - or a teacup - inside one of Beaumont's most beautifully restored historic addresses.
Heritage Happy Hour is an ongoing series designed to showcase significant historic places throughout the community while supporting preservation efforts. Built in 1926 on a Broadway parcel purchased by George Washington Brown and his wife Effie, Moyle Manor spent its early decades as a vibrant center of Beaumont social life, hosting DAR teas, bridge parties, and neighborhood gatherings. The home later served as the official residence of four bishops of the Diocese of Beaumont from 1966 to 1995, before spending three decades as professional office space. In 2025, Matthew and Kimberly Moyle undertook a full restoration of the property, honoring its original character while returning it to its roots as a place of hospitality.
Guests are welcome to come and go between 5:30 – 7:30 p.m., enjoy complimentary drinks, and browse informational panels on the home's history. Owners Matthew and Kimberly Moyle will address the attendees at 6 p.m., giving information about the restoration process and their vision for the business. Proceeds from the event help support the Beaumont Heritage Society's mission to preserve, promote, and celebrate the region's historic resources. You can also stop by to purchase your copy of our exclusive Heritage Happy Hour watercolor prints!
