Description:
The Bermudian Heritage Museum is a good example of late 19th Century lodge building, which has been virtually unaltered since it was erected in 1843. Built originally as a storehouse, this building became home to the Independent Order of Good Samaritans in 1907, one of the friendly societies which provided essential support to the black community in the decades after the abolition of slavery. The building now houses a museum which showcases the history of the black friendly societies and lodges. This is the first fully exhibited Black History Museum of Bermuda. It records the history of the slaves, free blacks and the many black friendly societies, and documents their important role in shaping Bermuda's history.

Commonly know as 'Old Rattle and Shake', the railway operated just for 17 years: crippling maintenance costs and a shortage of spare parts during World War II resulted in its demise. Now deserted the railway that once ran from one end of the Island to the other is were some of the loveliest sightseeing in Bermuda can be enjoyed from.

Nonsuch Island |

Description:
Nonsuch Island is a 14½-acre, crescent-shape island at the entrance of Castle Harbor. It's name, 'Nonsuch', is on the earliest map of Bermuda prepared by Richard Norwood in the early 1600's. It is believed it is named after the famous Tudor Palace in Surrey, England, which was very popular with the Royal Court at that period and means 'unparalleled'. Nonsuch is isolated and remains comparatively uncolonized by exotic introductions and, as a result, it has retained plants and animals that are rare on the mainland. This meant that an almost true representation of the prehistoric 'native' environment of Bermuda could be recreated on Nonsuch by reintroducing those native plants and animals extirpated by man and his domestic animals over the years.
