The home where Napoleon lived in exile from France from December 1815 to his death in 1821.

We are part of a cruise ship shore excursion to this out the way place in the world. The house where Napoleon spent his exile years is a top reason for even visiting St. Helena. The docents set up for our day visit were very knowledgeable. Made you feel like you were actually visiting the home during the era. Beautiful gardens, nice gift shop. Because we were a cruise ship in town, the locals even had extra souvenir tents set up on the grounds for the t-shirts, hats and stamps many people want. Be aware, no photos were allowed but there were postcards and books for sale. Bring British Pounds or Euro to spend if you are not using credit cards.

I had to keep going back to this amazing museum, there is so much to read about that was so interesting from the first settlers through to recent Saints who sailed around the world. A fascinating insight into the people and the island's rich history, a must for any visitor

I really enjoyed stopping in and seeing this old historic church that was built in 1772. Wow, that was a long time ago! The inside has some nice stained glass windows. The part that really caught my eye is its old foot pumping pipe organ. It was amazing to see it in such great shape. The steeple of the church is a more modern addition. BOTTOM LINE: Worth a quick visit to check out. Be sure to checkout the foot power air pump old organ! This church is history being the oldest in the southern hemisphere. MY RATING: 9/10.
