Turks and Caicos National Museum

Really enjoyed our visit here. Learnt so much about the history of the island and the indigenous peoples who used to inhabit the islands.

A great way to support TCI heritage and do something a bit 'different' on your holiday. Plan to spend about 30-45 minutes here, entry costs $5 and includes an informative tour by local volunteers, it is well worth it. The museum has some interesting artefacts, artwork and displays and then outside is a garden to walk around displaying native plant species surrounding a replica of a traditional historic house. Make sure to pay attention to the Google maps location, it is down an unassuming road, look out for the signs. Please support TCI history and heritage by visiting this little museum with aspirations to grow more in the future with your help.

My husband and I went on a guided tour with Daverian (I’m butchering the spelling) and it was a very interesting tour. So much ingenuity involved with daily life when this Island was used for plantations and before the abolishment of slavery. These people were some tough MFers and the current inhabitants of this island are the Benefactors of these tough genes. I would highly recommend this tour to learn historical and horticultural facts about the island.

We spent a wonderful 90 mins here. Marjorie, who was staffing the museum when we visited, was super knowledgeable and interesting. She didn’t insist on talking to visitors who wanted to breeze through, but once we started asking questions and showing interest, we quickly discovered that she is a font of knowledge about TCI history, culture, and flora. Such a treat!

Tiny. The guide/host was very informative and the old house is interesting. At the time I visited, the map marker was slightly off.
