In the heart of historic Speightstown in St. Peter parish, the Arlington House Museum offers guests a glimpse into the island’s past.
The restored 18th-century former home of a wealthy merchant is now a three-story museum with engaging interactive and educational exhibits. The Speightstown Memories exhibition tells the story of the island’s first settlers, the Plantation Memories exhibition explores colonization and the plantation system, and Wharf Memories delves into the town’s maritime significance as a Caribbean port for sugar and sugar byproducts – rum and molasses. Kids will enjoy the talking pirate and other interactive features, and the whole family will learn something new about the island’s heritage.
