"Near the racecourse in the Garrison part of the city stands a former military prison from Barbados’s time as headquarters of the British navy's Windward and Leeward forces. Since the 1930s, the two-story stone structure with gardens has been put to happier use, housing the Barbados Museum and Historical Society. Exhibits cover the island’s coral structure and natural history, as well as the original Amerindian presence, the slave trade, sugar cultivation and rum production."
