Heritage Museum Collection
Museums / Galleries, Northeast Coast
Fodor's Review:
Don't miss this remarkable opportunity to learn about Anguilla. Old photographs and local records and artifacts trace the island's history over 4 millennia, from the days of the Arawaks. The museum is painstakingly curated by Colville Petty. High points include the historical documents of the Anguilla Revolution and the albums of photographs chronicling island life, from devastating hurricanes to a visit from Queen Elizabeth in 1964. You can see examples of ancient pottery shards and stone tools along with fascinating photographs of the island in the early 20th century -- many depicting the heaping and exporting of salt and the christening of schooners -- and a complete set of beautiful postage stamps issued by Anguilla since 1967.
