Overview

Located in New Plymouth on Green Turtle Cay, this museum features exhibits that chronicle the rich, 217-year history of the town. The Bahama's oldest historical museum is dedicated to Albert Lowe, a renowned model shipbuilder and a direct descendant of the original settlers. Through pictures and illustrations, visitors learn of the fight for survival against nature in the 1700s. Displays examine New Plymouth's role as a port-of-safety for Confederate blockade runners during the American Civil War in the 1860s. Discover the artwork of Alton Lowe, Albert's son, in the basement.
