This 1989 educational video tours the Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum, chronicling the history behind Beaumont’s sudden growth at the start of the 20th century. Tour guide Sharon Gregory takes viewers through the replicated Gladys City, describing what boomtown life would have been like for prospectors and townsfolk. Many of the buildings, such as Edgerton Photographer and Grinnell’s Log Cabin, feature antique pieces from 19th century that have been restored.
