Fodor's Review:

Furnished to resemble its former incarnation as a private home, this typical Bermudian building reveals what life was like in the early 1700s. Along with period furnishings, it has assorted documents and artifacts (like ax heads and whale-blubber cutters) pertaining to the colonial days. But it's the re-created kitchen—complete with palmetto baskets and calabash dipping gourds—that really takes the cake. Downstairs the printery (accessible from Featherbed Alley) features a working replica of a Gutenberg-style press, as well as early editions of island newspapers. The beautiful cottage gardens behind the museum are also worth a visit.

Cost: $5
Open: Apr.-Nov., weekdays 10-4; Jan.-Mar., Wed. 10-4
