This is very worth the $2 donation to tour if you do not, or cannot, attend services. Its history is tied to the Unfinished Church up the hill.

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.

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!!

Deliverance

View of full size replica ship from 1610 named "The Deliverance". Step inside and imagine what it felt like to be one of the 150 members who sailed onto Jamestown. Inside there is an automatronic character of William Strachey who tells the tale of survival of the castaways in 1609 and the eventual rescue of the starving settlers in Jamestown.
