- Places to visit and things to do
In the historic Garisson district on the outskirts of Bridgetown is the Barbados Museum. Housed in a former military prison, it boasts a wide range of geological, historical and decorative art collections, as well as rooms devoted to the island's marine flora and fauna. Nearby, within the garrison walls, a visit to George Washington's Gregorian-style mansion is a must, Bridgetown being the only city on the North American continent to have been visited by the president. Don't miss the Barbados National Arms Depot, with its massive collection of 17th-century iron cannons. In the outer part of this historic center is the Garrison Savannah, a racecourse that has been in operation for over a century and a half. On the outskirts of town, learn more about Barbados' past with a visit to the Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill Plantation and the Tyrol Cot Heritage Village, a successful replica of a 19th-century Barbadian town.
