Description:

Walk through the history of the Bahamas on this tour of the charmingly restored Mountbatten House. The Heritage Museum of the Bahamas is housed on the upper floor and is home to artifacts and collectibles documenting the island's history.

Your guide first takes you to one of the museum's jewels, a prehistoric meteorite. As you make your way through the rooms of the house, see items such as 15th-century furniture and a dress that was worn by a plantation master's wife. You can even hold ankle shackles formerly used on a plantation.

Each room reflects certain periods of Bahamian history including piracy, maritime, slavery, and World War II. Also on site is a replica of a 1900s general store complete with original merchandise and advertisements. At the conclusion of your tour, visit the gift shop, where you can purchase shark's teeth, souvenir T-shirts, and even replicas from the days of pirates.
