8 History Museums in Bermuda That You Shouldn't Miss
Don’t be fooled by Bermuda’s small size; this 21-square-mile Atlantic island is big on history, personality and charm, from pink-sand beaches to historic forts. It’s known for aquatic adventures like shipwreck scuba diving, cliff jumping and deep-sea fishing. On land you’ll find an eclectic island culture of vibrant neighborhoods, brightly colored shorts and delicious fish chowder.

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.

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.

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!!

We were planning to visit and then noticed an advert for Bermuda Onion Day celebrations on Saturday 18th so made it that day. Very interesting and made special by the friendly welcome and tasty food on offer. Great to chat to local people and hear about all their efforts with the project and the history. Also interesting to chat to a local lady and hear her family history of her father moving here to marry after Naval service.

Located in the heart of the Town, the World Heritage Centre (operated by The St. George's Foundation) is a key orientation and resource point for visitors and students of all ages. In our Theatre Room you can sit back and enjoy a short film "A Stroll through St. George's" and then view the mural artwork by Emile A. Verpilleux in our upstairs gallery. On our Main floor we have interactive educational exhibits which highlight "The Age of Discovery, Bermuda's historic links to Jamestown, the wreck of the "Sea Venture" and the story of Bermuda's first forts. The ground floor also houses Second-Hand Rose, our charity shop with a great selection of gently-used second-hand "treasures"!
8. Bermudian Heritage Museum
Founded in 1994, the aims of the Bermudian Heritage Museum are to research, authenticate, collect, preserve, display, fund, promote, and manage information based on the heritage and accomplishments of black Bermudians. The museum highlights those who formed and served in the island's early Independent Orders and is housed in the defunct Samaritan's Lodge Building. A valuable resource to the entire community, we invite you to tour our facility and discover the nearly 400 years of history of the Bermuda people.
