Cheshire Hall Plantation is an important and significant stop on any trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands. Located between the hospital and St. Monica’s Anglican Church, it tells the story of slavery in the islands, a largely unspoken part of its past. The plantation was built by two American brothers, the Stubbs, who fought in the Revolutionary War and planted cotton trees on the site. With its original limestone walls and artifacts that were discovered in 2001, Cheshire Hall Plantation is an important reminder of the role that Turks and Caicos slaves played in American and British history. The plantation offers a 30-minute tour to visitors, providing insight into the historical and cultural significance of this landmark

a month agoIt was interesting and eye opening. The tour could have been longer. The ladies in the gift Hut were very nice. They were weaving baskets. Definitely buy souvenirs here! Support local crafters! Also, if you pay at the location, bring cash.

a month agoWe took the "tour" for $15 per person but quite honestly save your money and just walk around yourself and read the signs, our guide I suspect, didn't speak English well enough to answer any questions so we got a lot of "I don't know" but the presentation we had was poor to say the least - there was 2 pauses at different spots to talk about the "the 1 day off the slaves had" and a pause near a rock walled off stove that was supposed used to cook for the master was not worth it - also FYI, the pics shown are not as the site is today - the area is not cleared and is overgrown so you walk along the path and not much else, no open spaces to speak of, brush everywhere. We learned more just googling it than actually being there - the Turks and Caicos trust really dropped the ball on this historic site with maintenance and the training of the guide IMHO. You'd be better off having 1 person take the tour and then repeat it back to everyone else as 95% of what our guide told us was on the info boards on site. Total time on site - 20 minutes. Actual tour - 10 minutesNot recommended.

2 years agoIt was fantastic! An awesome experience to visit and be present where there are authentic ruins, rooms, gardens. It's not possible to duplicate the masonry of the stone walls, they stood the test of time for centuries!!
