Life in colonial Bermuda: museum collection includes a letter from George Washington and an 18th century kitchen, and is housed in a building built in 1700.
Reviewed By docwcstuart - Bethlehem, United States
Was in St. George late in the season and not much was happening. Found this house museum and it made the trip. One of the oldest houses in Bermuda, stuffed with both historic artifacts and more recent memorabilia (lots about QEII's trip to Bermuda in the 1950s). The guide was a native and went over and above to describe the house, how it was built, what life was like in old Bermuda, etc. Well worth the $5 admission.

I usually do not write reviews but my experience at Davidrose was excellent and I just had to show this business some love! We visited the St.Georges location first, it is a short walk from the ferry(5mins) we were greeted by very helpful sales associate. The view in the St. George store is breathtaking! They also have a wall of awards from 2013 to 2018 which made me feel confident in the brand. We tried almost all of the Ocean collection pieces, the craftsmanship is excellent and are very well made and the Colour of the ocean is captured perfectly. I wanted the whole collection! My group was starting to get impatient so I decided to visit the Hamilton Store the next day. The Hamilton location is on the main shopping street called Front Street also a very short walk from the Ferry. This location did not have the same view but it was very classy and modern, the two sales associates were very helpful and knowledgeable. The store was very busy but they took the time to help me decide on the piece for me! I found the Hamilton location to have a wider selection of their fine jewelry the Naudical collection is stunning and also their Gem Stone jewelry was WOW it is in 18k so be prepared to spend a bit more than the 14k. I went into this store for the Ocean Collection and ended up purchasing the Seahorse in 18k White Gold with Sapphires and Diamonds. I will be back next year!

The Bermuda National Trust tours and museums are marvellous. Up close looks at 400 years of history in Bermuda, and how this little island played important, if not pivotal roles in the American Revolution and the Civil War. Fascinating stories about the people that made a difference. Beautiful furniture, China and artefacts, and a great little gift shop in St Georges. Anyone with the slightest interest in history will enjoy hours here...

We were walking around the St. George community and found this incredible Hidden Gem...by chance. We had found "The Unfinished Church" and as we walked around taking photos the road to the right of the entrance compelled us to keep walking. A short walk up the hill and down toward the ocean we found this beautiful beach "Tobacco Bay Park". Absolutely wonderful view.

A tour of a historical home is only as good as the guide. So in this case the tour was amazing. Our wonderful guide was knowledgeable, informative, engaging and proved us with one of the highlights of our Bermuda vacation. I am so grateful that she donates her time to this Bermuda treasure. Don't miss it.
