The George Washington House was where the 1st President of the United States resided for two months when he visited Barbados in 1751, the only country he visited outside of colonial America.
This fact, as well as the insights gained on how life was 250 years ago in Barbados, intrigues visitors and Barbadians alike. The ground floor is furnished and staged in the way it would have appeared back in 1751, and second floor is completely covered with displays of items familiar to that time period. There are also various artifacts throughout the home, including slave items such as spiked manacles and barbed neck collars.
