Carter House Museum

St. David's Island Historical Society runs the 17th century Carter House and Museum as well as the replica authentic thatched mud and stud Settlers Cabin of 1612. Both are surrounded with endemic and native trees and plants. A place to sit in silence and let history speak to you.

About Carter House Museum

This 17th-century Bermudian farmhouse, known to be one of Bermuda's oldest homes, was built by the family of Christopher Carter, one of the island’s original settlers. Museum exhibits are dedicated to whaling, fishing, farming and other aspects of daily life in Bermuda’s early days. You'll find hand tools from the 1600s, palmetto hats created by Martha Hayward (Carter's great-granddaughter) and ambergris, a product of whaling. A reconstructed settler's hut shows what life was like for the early settlers. Carter House Museum is on St. David’s Island near the airport.

Admission is free (donations appreciated) and it's open four days a week, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

The property is perfect for events and catered dinners with an authentic historical ambiance- something different, educational and entertaining
