The Bermuda
National Trust Museum at the Globe Hotel
Built
by Governor Samuel Day, the Globe Hotel dates from c. 1700. It is
one of the oldest stone buildings in Bermuda.
The Bermuda National Trust Museum is housed here, featuring a video
presenation, gift shop on the main floor and permanent exhibit upstairs.
The offices of the Confederate agent, Major Norman Walker, were
housed here during the American Civil War (1861-1865), which makes
this significant historic building a most appropriate site for the
permanent exhibit Rogues & Runners: Bermuda and the American
Civil War. Our video presentation, Bermuda: Centre of the
Atlantic, features rarely-seen paintings and documents in telling
the story of Bermuda and the forces which shaped her history. The
Trustworthy Gift Shop is also a great place to find that unusal
present or keepsake. Stop in on your next visit to St. George's,
a World Heritage Site!
