Verdier House is a historic landmark in Beaufort, South Carolina, built in 1804 by John Mark Verdier, a wealthy French Huguenot merchant. It is located on Bay Street, overlooking the Beaufort River and is now a museum operated by the Historic Beaufort Foundation.

The house is a two-and-a-half-story Federal-style brick building with a hipped roof, dormer windows, and a central entrance flanked by two-story porticoes. The interior features original woodwork, plasterwork, and decorative finishes, including a cantilevered staircase, paneled doors, and intricate molding.

The house served as the headquarters for Union General Rufus Saxton during the Civil War and was later used as a school and a private residence before being purchased by the Historic Beaufort Foundation in 1971. The foundation restored the house and opened it to the public as a museum in 1974.

Today, the Verdier House Museum offers guided tours that give visitors a glimpse into Beaufort's history and culture. Exhibits include period furnishings, decorative arts, and artifacts that illustrate the daily life of Beaufort's residents over the past two centuries. The museum also hosts special events, including lectures, concerts, and holiday celebrations.
