Ninety seconds on St. George's Historical Society Museum
Best of the rooms is the kitchen, hung with palmetto baskets and calabash dipping gourds: it shows more of daily island life than the parlours do, so spend longest there.
This house is entered up outside steps known as the 'welcoming arms', into rooms of cedar furniture and antique mahogany. The objects run from fine porcelain to an island household's working tools: axe heads, whale-blubber cutters, a 300-year-old Bible and a letter from George Washington.
The kitchen keeps its old utensils alongside the baskets and gourds. Behind the house, a cottage garden is planted with what grows well in Bermuda. Then go down to the cellar printshop, which is part of the same visit.
