A very enjoyable visit. Extremely interesting learning about its connection with the hymn 'Amazing Grace'

Exhibits regard the history and culture of Nevis, with particular focus on Nevis-native, Alexander Hamilton.
On a recent visit to Nevis, I was excited to see the new exhibition at the History Museum. It's professionally curated and easy to follow, with really interesting information that teaches visitors about the island's history from pre-Colombian times up to contemporary Nevis culture. It's obviously a small museum, run by a non-profit society, but they have done an amazing job and even use new technologies (Augmented Reality and QR codes) which our kids found really fun! And don't worry: there is free WiFi to download the apps for AR and QR codes! Next door is Hamilton House and the new Museum Gift shop that has some great and original items. There's also a great little Café in the yard for light meals and drinks after your visit – so this place is a wonderful way to spend an hour or so. The museum is definitely a MUST-DO for any visitor to Nevis – it's a great introduction to the overall history before you start your tour of the rest of the Island!

Walk beyond the burgeoning cruise terminal and find the authentic history. An imposing, stone building houses the story. Read the posters on the wall outside, documenting the island’s heritage. Talk to the lovely staff in the gift shop housing quiet souvenirs. Look out for the safe behind the cash desk - John Tann, Newgate Street, London EC4! History has a way of jumping out at you.

The Nevisian Heritage Village at Fothergills Estate, which was once a bustling sugar plantation and cotton ginning station is situated on the eastern side of the island, the village is nestled amid the lush evergreen vegetation on the lower slopes of the commanding Nevis Peak, a dormant volcano that makes a perfect backdrop. This Heritage Village largely depicts the evolution of Nevisian social history through housing. The houses, dating from the Carib Indian era, are replicas and are furnished with antiques and relics of their relevant periods. This includes the blacksmith’s shop, rum shop, and the shoe-maker’s shop, along with the dwelling houses and gardens.
Nevisian Heritage Village is very informative in understanding the history of Nevis. The exhibits are simple but tell the story well. The grounds are a pretty stroll.

This museum, dedicated to the naval hero and strategist, exhibits Nevis at the time of Nelson and boasts the largest collection of Nelsonia.

Museum and historic site, this mansion marks the birthplace of the father of the U.S. National Bank.
If you are a history buff, especially an Alexander Hamilton fan, this is a must. The museum is quaint but informative.
