I love small local museums and the Museum of Nevis History was great. It's full of very interesting and informative exhibits about pre-history, the Slave Trade, the Colonial Period, and the modern period of Nevis and also has good exhibits on the natural history of the island and the seas around it. There is very nice garden to sit in and a nice little cafe next door where you can get a light meal and a beer.

This small and interesting museum offers a great overview of the history and character of Nevis. I would recommend visiting the museum first before touring the sights, it will enhance the experience.

Great little museum in the Centre of Charlestown. It may be small but there is a lot of information in there about the island and it's people

The museum gives a good history of Nevis and all about life as it was and its development. It tells you all about the Nelson connections and the sugar plantaions. The lady receptionist is extremely helpful and full of extra interesting facts. We were lucky enough to be there for their Christmas Bazaar and bought some lovely locally made items - the honey , little handpainted tiles and a beautiful pottery lizard.

It is worth visiting this very small museum in order to learn some more about Nevis. There are individual exhibits on topics such as the history, archeology, geology, and natural history (seashells) of Nevis. The person at the front desk is very nice and will probably be able to answer any questions you might have. This museum is a good place to stop into when you are walking on the waterfront in Charlestown. There are some items for sale; maybe you will feel inspired to buy a book on Nevis or on the Caribbean flora and fauna in general.

Very small museum summarizing the most important information on Nevis history. It helped me to understand more about Nevis. Even it's just small exposition to read all the information took about 20-30 minutes.

I borrowed "Ships Swords and Sugar" by Vinvent K Hubbard from the hotel library, and thoroughly enjoyed reading the history of this fascinating island as I lay by the pool. The museum in contrast was amateurish, shabby and not worth the effort ( or the entrance fee)

If you iwsh to learn about the origins and history of Nevis and its polulation then this is the plave to go. You can spend between say 30 minutes and an hour or more (depending upon your level of interest). The staff are knowledgeable and the visit brings home the history of this small island and community.
