From Nevis to the dueling grounds of New Jersey. Opinionated, forceful, and one of our most important forefathers. Father of the U.S. Coast Guard - although they don't mention that. Fun little museum that sheds more light on his earlier days. Worth the stop.

This was a small museum, but had a lot of interesting information about the history of the Island. If you have 30 - 60 mnutes to spare and enjoy learning about the places you visit, I would recommend you visit here.

The museum occupies the original carriage house associated with the house where Hamilton lived, as the house does not survive.
