Rendering static folders for React routes

I have some legacy static code (HTML, CSS, jQuery, JS, etc.) in my folder. Now I need to render these on a specific route in my react app. Due to some policy reasons, I cannot use iFrame. I don't want to rewrite it in React for two reasons:

So, if I rewrite it in React, then I end up with two versions: one is the React version of the page, and the other is the non-React version of the page. If I want to change then I need to update twice.

What are my options? What's the easiest and less confusing way to render static files within a folder in my React app without using iFrames?

    You can add static files in the public directory and copy the required paths using folder copy and then serve these files statically. If the route is /display, you can add a folder called display. Assuming your file is named contact.html, your file will be located under /display/contact.html.

    Link to file via react

    // ...
    return (
      <a 
        href="/display/contact.html" 
        // if you want to open it in a new tab
        target="_blank" 
      />
    );
