PLACES OF INTEREST
Nevis may be smaller than its neighbor St. Kitts but that does not mean it is short on history as it is the
birthplace of Alexander Hamilton, one of the United States Founding Fathers and also the location where
Britain’s most famous sea captain, Horatio Nelson was married. You can tour the island by taxi or stroll to
many places of interest in the island’s capital Charlestown.
The Museum of
Nevis History
The building where
Alexander Hamilton, whose
face appears on the US $
10 bill, was born, is now
home to the Museum of
Nevis History which, as
well as showing life on
the island as Hamilton
would have known it, it
also has memorabilia from
the wedding of Admiral
Lord Nelson. The museum
also has exhibits from the
island’s pre-colonial history
