History Detectives: Using Clues from the Past
Typical of early Bermudian house construction, Tucker House on Water
Street in St. George’s is so named because of Henry Tucker,
who served as President of the Governor’s Council, 1775-1808.
How do we find out about
the lives of people from the past? Come and explore objects and
furniture from the times and the finds from archaeology digs. The
kitchen is especially delightful, demonstrating the use of natural
local resources (such as the use of palmetto leaves for brooms and
bags). This tour focuses on using clues from the past to find out
what life was like long ago.
P4 Teachers: Bring your
