About Verdmont Museum – Bermuda National Trust

Verdmont holds 300-years of Bermuda heritage in its Grade 1 listed buildings and two acres of grounds. Its stories of piracy and adventure, domesticity and family life span privilege and enslavement, romance and loss, land and sea. Authentic interiors, exceptional collections and moving memorials give glimpses into the forcibly interconnected lives of enslaving and enslaved Bermudians at this African Diaspora Heritage Trail site. Our trained, local interpreters will share the history and architecture of the main house, enslaved quarters and detached kitchen, privy (historic bathroom) and tank, lead you through the ground floor and second floor rooms highlighting stories and collections, and invite you to explore the attic with the People of Verdmont exhibit and the surrounding gardens, trails and vista lookouts.

Art, Makers & Stories Free Open House

As part of Bermuda Art Month, experience Verdmont through art, objects, craftsmanship and stories at a special Open House for all ages.

An African Diaspora Heritage Trail site, Verdmont preserves the histories of the people who lived and worked here, including the enslaved Black Bermudians whose labour, skills and knowledge sustained the house and estate.

Discover these histories through Verdmont's collections and spaces—and through the work of Bermudian artists and makers today.

LIVE ARTIST DEMONSTRATIONS & ENGAGEMENTS

Meet Bermudian artists and makers, watch them at work and take part in the creative process.

ART ENCOUNTERS

Look more closely at Verdmont's portraits, furniture, decorative arts and culinary heritage. Explore what they reveal about artistry, craftsmanship, labour and everyday life—and discover stories and makers too often left out of the picture.

GUIDED VERDMONT TOURS — 11AM & 1PM

Explore the historic house, detached kitchen and garden and discover the stories of the free and enslaved people who lived, worked and created at Verdmont.

FAMILY ART-MAKING — 10AM–3PM

Look, Discover & Create! Make art inspired by Verdmont's people, objects, architecture and natural environment, with the opportunity to develop an entry for the BNT Student Art Competition sponsored by SOMPO.

Presented by the Bermuda National Trust with support from the Bermuda Tourism Authority as part of Bermuda Art Month.
