Verdmont
This fascinating and beautiful
old house is one of Bermuda’s most significant historic buildings.
Built c. 1710, Verdmont is a unique example of early Georgian architecture,
and has remained virtually unchanged for 300 years.
The museum features an extensive collection of antiques including
Bermuda-made cedar furniture, portraits, English and Chinese porcelain
and a child's nursery. The gardens contain an assortment of herbs,
old roses and fruit trees; and the sweeping view of South Shore
is spectacular.
Come for a guided tour
to learn anything about Verdmont or simply to enjoy its peaceful
surrounds. Tours can be modified to accommodate any interest whether
it be about the people who lived and worked in this house, the collection
of Bermuda furniture and antiques, the unique architecture or Bermuda
and Verdmont's place in its history.
