St. George's Historical Society Museum

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.

The Dragon's Lair Gallery

Reviewed By susanoG9930VX

Today I visited the Dragon's Lair Gallery in St. George for the first time. Wow! Very impressed with the carefully selected variety of artwork and local crafts. Tucked away on the waterfront, the gallery is in a light and airy setting with the friendliest of staff. I'm a local and very proud of our artisans who've created this truly magical little gallery..

Bermuda National Trust Museum

The American Civil War from a Bermudian perspective: a museum chronicling the island's involvement with the Confederates during the Civil War.

Reviewed By Hedger123 - Bermuda, Caribbean

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...

Fort St. Catherine

Fort turned history museum, featuring an exhibit called "Highlights in Bermuda's History."

Reviewed By D1969EWjeffm

Ask if Patrick is around when you visit — super guy who loves to share the story of the fort, St. George’s & Bermuda ????????. We spent some time talking with him and could have talked with him all day — incredibly knowledgeable and a great ambassador for his island!!
