The Bermuda Historical Society Museum,The old house is an adventure in its own right and has a number of collections, memorabilia and artifacts. The public library, founded in 1839, moved here in 1916. Its reference section has copies of Bermudian newspapers dating back to 1784 on microfilm. Among its collection of rare books is a 1624 edition of John Smith’s Generall Historie of Virginia, New England and the Somer Isles. Along with portraits of William Perot and his wife, you’ll see magnificent portraits of Sir John Somers and his wife, which are thought to have been painted around 1605. There’s also a map of Bermuda, dated 1624, that shows the division of the islands by the Bermuda Company into 25-acre shares. Other interesting exhibits include a collection of rare old English coins, furniture, fine china, a Waterford chandelier, handmade hats, clocks, and a collection of Confederate money that dates to the days of the blockade runners who ran from Bermuda into the southern ports of Charleston and Savannah. There is also a piece of lodestone that Sir George Somers used to magnetize his compass needles. Even more interesting is a letter from George Washington, written in 1775, requesting supplies of gunpowder. You’ll have to request a viewing if you’d like to see it. Hours: 9:30 am-3:30 pm, Monday-Saturday free.
