  • Interesting and insightful in many ways. Very small museum but a wealth of information in one small space. Very hot. Nice little cafe in the grounds.

  • Great place to start your visit of Nevis! Self tour, lots of different displays about different times in their history. If your a Alexander Hamilton fan, this is where he spent his early years. Small gift shop and small restaurant on the grounds.
  • Delightful little museum packed with information about the Caribbean, slavery, and life of native son and U.S. Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.
