A visit to the Heritage Collection is a must for anyone with the slightest interest in Anguilla and its history. Also, take the opportunity to obtain Colville Petty's book "Anguilla's Battle For Freedom 1967-69" and get it signed by the man himself

This museum has relics from Anguilla's historic time, the lawn is clean and well kept, the engine to the entrance or the museum, looked well kept also the copper pot out front reminded me of what my grand ma use to parch her cocoa in to make chocolates for tea. Inside are full of artifacts and books and souvenirs of your visit to the island...dont forget to check it out.

Opening its doors at ten, this lovely little heritage museum welcomins you into the history of the island from the Arawaks to present day. A superb collection of information, photographs and artefacts spanning that time brings the local culture and historic times to life, all lovingly collected into on one Place for our perusal. The curator Colville Petty OBE is more then happy to his knowledge and answered all our questions with a deep passion and immense pride. We were able to buy his book on the history of the island which we are thoroughly enjoying too. A would allow 2 hours for a visit, we only had an hour and it wasn't long enough to read all the information. Photography is not allowed inside the museum unless you request a particular photo which may be considered for personal use only.

Went here one day on our way back to our villa after lunch at Hibernia - what a perfect way to end the afternoon! I cannot imagine the time and effort Mr. Petty went through to put all of this together, but it is great history of Anguilla with lots to see and understand. This is more like walk through time than anything else and will not only give you insight into why Anguilla is what it is today, but also provide some very colorful stories from the perspective of those who were there.The fact that this building has been underwater at least a couple of times and "The Collection" is still there, is another example of Mr. Petty's devotion to preserving Anguilla's history. If you like to know more about the places you are visiting, stop by, chat with Mr. Petty and prepare to be surprised. A revolution for independence? It's just one chapter in Anguilla's ongoing story.

Visiting the Heritage Museum, back in 2010, was one of the highlights of our trip to Anguilla.It was indeed a great honor for us to meet Mr. Colville Petty (OBE), the most important historian and writer of Anguilla’s history. His guidance through the different sections, his kindness and knowledge made this visit unforgettable.

Museum was very well organized and documented; the curator was friendly and very knowledgable! A must see for visitors to Anguilla!!

Colville Petty has conscientiously amassed countless artifacts of Anguillan history from 2500 BC to the present day, and presents them in a thoughtful, thought-provoking collection. Do take time from the island's beautiful beaches to visit its only museum and learn about its past.

The heritage collection is a flash back. This is a must do when on Anguilla. It gives you the opportunity to learn about the culture.

Curated by Colville Petty,O.B.E., this charming collection of archaeological finds, historic memorabilia, photographs and other objects is well worth a visit. It provides considerable insight into the remote and recent history of the Island.

Mr Petty runs such an adorable, insightful and passionate museum, I bring all my island visitors here as it's a perfect glimpse into local culture and history, all within about 30-45 minutes. The Heritage Museum should be a requirement for all long-time island visitors and regardless of how often I go, I still learn something new each time. Such a fun place to go, especially with kids! Great to go home and "show and tell" all about Anguilla!
