This is the one National Trust museum in St George's you can walk into while Tucker House is shut. Start downstairs with the settlement years, then go up for the blockade runners. The garden faces St Peter's Church.

Visiting

There is a model of the Sea Venture on the ground floor, beside a replica of the press that stamped the Confederate seal on official papers. A short film on the town's history plays nearby, and the rest of the floor holds portraits and finds from shipwrecks and island digs.

Upstairs, Rogues and Runners is a run of short information boards, so allow time to read. Look for the Fannie, a blockade runner that came home in June 1864 with yellow fever aboard, and for pieces carved by Boer War prisoners.

Finish in the garden, which looks across to St Peter's. Sales in the gift shop go to the Trust.

Know before you goThe Tourism Authority lists the museum as open Monday to Saturday over the middle of the day, but open days can change month to month. Phone the museum before you plan a day around it.
