George Washington House

At $20 USD, the admission is a bit steep, but I understand how funds are needed to maintain this historic site. I came near to closing time but they very kindly let me in! I was really impressed with the high quality of the displays and descriptions - perfect balance of information without being too long and tedious. Interesting personal stories of George Washington, his brother Lawrence, and the people of that time, which captures our attention. The audio guide was clear and again, informative while being brief. The tunnels are a bonus adventure! I recommend a visit here if you are in Barbados.

What a cool visit—and a history lesson rolled into one! They show a short movie every 20 minutes or so, giving you some great insight into what George went through before and during his time on the island. We didn’t get a chance to check out the café, but it looked pretty inviting, and plenty of people were enjoying food and drinks outside. Restrooms are on site and are clean. Oh, and don’t miss the super narrow underground tunnel you can walk through—it leads you right out to the parking lot!

James was an excellent tour guide. Definitely visit this place if you are in Bridgetown and make sure to do the full Barbados Garrison tour.

A fantastic insight into the early life of George Washington and how his visit to Barbados when he was just 19/20 helped forge who he would become in later life ☺️ They also have a gift shop and restaurant and a lovely cat 😁

Historic location. Easy walk through the property. Electronic guides in a variety of languages available. Stop buying the coffee shop after the tour.

Very cool history spot for history buffs. This is a self guided tour, with a handheld tour device. The house was restored by a wonderful crew of workers, which has its own dedication room. The grounds are beautiful with additional tunnels underground to explore. There are restrooms available to patrons, as well as a small restaurant for snacks. Highly recommend for historical buffs.

A tranquil and gorgeous place for some food from the cafe then a wander around the house and grounds. Great historic place

Wonderful place to visit if you're interested in history. You'll get a handheld audio guide and can explore the place where the Washington brothers stayed while in Barbados, as well as learn a lot about their good and not so good parts of their lives. There's also a cafe nearby that serves good food and drinks.
