Built during an era of elegance and brutality, Greenwood has retained the atmosphere of the 19th century and continues to capture the imagination of its visitors. The house was built by the Barretts of Wimpole Street London in 1800. Unique among local plantation houses, Greenwood survived unscathed during the slave rebellion of Christmas 1831. It still has most of its original furniture including the largest and rarest collection of musical instruments and books in the island.
A devoted and highly informed guide takes you through both a well-preserved masterpiece of colonial architecture and a slice of Jamaican history. Wonderful view of Falmouth and the sea beyond.

Noel Coward's Firefly House is a museum with significant historical interest The museum is open to the public 8:00 am - 6:00 pm, 7 days a week.
We walked up and found the house as I had seen 4 years ago (could be better maintained, sadly). Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about Coward and his life. A very peaceful setting..

The highlight of our day was visiting 41 Fleet Street. Beautiful, inspirational, murals span several blocks, and a yard. This community artist project is uplifting, and shows a sense of pride, and progress for this neighborhood. I see this as must see destination in Kingston. It felt safe and welcoming.

While we were in Kingston for a family reunion, we took a tour organized by Stephen Grant of GPS Taxi and Tours to the Craighton Estate coffee plantation and lunch at Strawberry Hill. The tour started with a short hike through the coffee plantation up paved steps built into the mountainside to a beautiful lookout of Kingston and Port Royal. Our guide, Jerome, was very knowledgeable about the coffee plants, their lifecycle, harvesting and environmental considerations and he kept us engaged with his easy delivery and interaction with the group. This was followed up with a talk on the verandah of the Great House by Junior on the history and processing of the coffee bean into a tasty cup of coffee. Junior’s presentation was informative and his evident passion for the coffee industry was infectious. The tour ended with us sampling a delicious cup of Blue Mountain coffee paired with some yummy rum cake. We had a great time and we would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jamaica.

We visited on a Saturday and there were quite a few people in and around the Church. Lots of history and remarkable elements including the old pipe organ, very old altar and pews, ornate carvings, stained glass, and the outside cemetery. Make a contribution and say a prayer when you're there.
