museum of nevis history印象

Very small museum summarizing the most important information on Nevis history. It helped me to understand more about Nevis. Even it's just small exposition to read all the information took about 20-30 minutes.
-
I borrowed "Ships Swords and Sugar" by Vinvent K Hubbard from the hotel library, and thoroughly enjoyed reading the history of this fascinating island as I lay by the pool. The museum in contrast was amateurish, shabby and not worth the effort ( or the entrance fee)
-
The museum is not very big but it is filled with interesting history about the island and definitely worth a visit.
-
This is small, but gives a good overview of the history with some interesting items both old and more recent.
-
This museum gave an ideal account of historic Nevis and also detailed issues effecting the island today. Good range of books available to purchase.

The museum gives a good history of Nevis and all about life as it was and its development. It tells you all about the Nelson connections and the sugar plantaions. The lady receptionist is extremely helpful and full of extra interesting facts. We were lucky enough to be there for their Christmas Bazaar and bought some lovely locally made items - the honey , little handpainted tiles and a beautiful pottery lizard.

You cannot go here expecting the Louvre or the Smithsonian; remember, this is a small Caribbean nation. But if you go to learn something, including the story of how Alexander Hamilton (yes, that Alexander Hamilton of US Revolutionary War fame) was born here, as well as some local history, then you will have a great time! We lived on Nevis several years ago, and this was a fun way to introduce our kids to both local and US history. There are also some pieces connected with Lord Admiral Nelson, who was married on Nevis while serving as a young RN Lieutenant. Speaking of Admiral Nelson, you can go to his marriage site on one of the older plantations near the Botanical Gardens. Not much to see, but a good photo op; and while you are in the neighborhood, you can visit the fabulous Botanical Gardens. Enjoy!

If you iwsh to learn about the origins and history of Nevis and its polulation then this is the plave to go. You can spend between say 30 minutes and an hour or more (depending upon your level of interest). The staff are knowledgeable and the visit brings home the history of this small island and community.

I love small local museums and the Museum of Nevis History was great. It's full of very interesting and informative exhibits about pre-history, the Slave Trade, the Colonial Period, and the modern period of Nevis and also has good exhibits on the natural history of the island and the seas around it. There is very nice garden to sit in and a nice little cafe next door where you can get a light meal and a beer.

They pack a great deal of information into such a small space, and it's well presented. Nice little shop too with a good book selection. Right on the water in town, next to the Alexander Hamilton House.
