Hundreds of years of the territory’s history are on display,
but you don’t need to go to a museum to see it. If you know what you’re looking for, it’s visible all along Main Street.
Dr. Michael Kent knows exactly what to look for, and he has recently started leading history buffs on walks along Main Street to raise funds for the Old Government House Museum on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month.
Old Government House, where the tour starts, hasn’t been lived in since the 1990s, Dr. Kent told about a dozen people who turned up for the first tour Feb. 25. In 1996, renovation on the house began, and in 2002, it was re-opened as a museum.
The next tours are on March 24, April 14 and April 28.
Tours start at the Old Government House Museum at 10 a.m. and last about two hours.
The cost, which goes toward museum repairs, is $50.
