2 Best Sights in Dominica

The old Market House (1810), used for slave trading in colonial times and later as a post office, now houses the island's national museum. This labor of love by local writer and historian Dr. Lennox Honychurch contains furnishings, documents, prints, and maps that date back hundreds of years; you can also find an entire Carib hut, as well as Carib canoes, baskets, and other artifacts.

At this landmark, the island's first sugarcane processing mill and rum distillery—used by British settlers during the late 18th and 19th centuries—and later a lime plantation, you can see exhibits on sugar and coffee processing as well as on island heritage—including costumes worn during Carnival.
