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
presentation, 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!
