George Washington House

When in Barbados, It would be great if you could vist the George Washington House , part of the World Heritage sites where you can learn the connection of the hero of the American Revolution with this amazing island. Take your time to learn history with a short docu film and have your picture taken with George Washington statue. In particular , the 1 km tunnel at this British Garrison will amaze you. Highly recommended

It is too expensive to get in, but was still worth visiting especially jf you’re interested in US history. I recommend starting from the 15 minute movie then making your way to the house with the audio guide. The tunnel was very interesting if you’re mot claustrophobic. The house itself is slightly underwhelming.

An excellent experience. So much to take in, to do it justice you should give yourself 2-3 hours. The audio guide makes it a pleasurable experience with all the history it contains.

Excellent house to explore. The way it is presented gives a taste of what it might be like in Washington's time. There's a great film to watch, giving the background and impact of his visit. The upstairs exhibition gives a somber overview of the slavery that made the plantations on Barbados, and the great wealth possible. Social history is brought to life with vignettes of locals from this time

Enjoyed this museum. Nice slow pace to wander around in with commentary at each location. Film in their diddy cinema, which had aircon, was very interesting too.

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.
