"Historic George Town Take a walking tour of historic George Town, the capital of Grand Cayman since the 18th century, when the local harbor was deemed the island’s best commercial anchorage. One of the oldest sites is Fort George, and though you’ll find only small vestiges of this 1790 construction, it continued to serve as a strategic lookout point as recently as World War II (German submarines were active off the coast). Other neighborhood stops include the 18th-century well on view through a pane at the Bayshore Mall; the 1919 Peace Memorial, among other sites in Heroes Square; and the Cayman Islands National Museum, the longest-standing Caymanian public building (home to the island's first post office, courthouse, and jail, just for starters)."
