Tucker House Museum

"Step into Bermuda's Colonial Past at the Tucker House Museum Owned by the Bermuda National Trust, the Tucker House museum in St. George is a tribute to the prominent family that lived there during the 1700s. Henry Tucker was president of the Governor’s Council and had connections to Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. A collection of family treasures such as silver, china, portraits, and antique cedar and mahogany furniture are on display. Learn about the home’s former inhabitants, Bermuda’s history, and island architecture as you take a guided tour through the house. An archaeology exhibit in the basement tells the story of the family through displays and artifacts. Be sure to check out the Rainey Exhibit in the kitchen. Joseph Rainey was a free slave from South Carolina who fled to Bermuda during the height of conflicts in the U.S. He operated a barber shop, presumably off of the kitchen, from 1862-1865. Rainey eventually returned to the U.S. where he went on to become the first African American in the U.S. House of Representatives."

10 Best Museums in Bermuda | Condé Nast Traveler

"Named for Henry Tucker—a merchant who served as president of the Governor’s Council from 1775 to 1807 and whose ancestry can be traced back to Bermuda’s first settlers—Tucker House, a living history museum, was once the Tucker family home. Virtually unchanged since it was built in 1750, the well-preserved cottage oozes old-school Bermuda, and stepping inside its stone walls will give you a good sense of how the island’s earliest residents lived. A word of caution: This old stone cottage is much as it was in the 1750s, so those with mobility concerns may find it difficult to navigate the stairs." - David LaHuta
