Arlington House Museum
Barbados' Colonial Past in a Restored Townhouse


Arlington House Museum
Located on Queen Street in Speightstown, Arlington House Museum tells the story of Barbados across three interactive floors of a restored 1750 coral rubblestone townhouse. Exhibits span the merchant life of Speightstown, the plantation economy, and the island's seafaring history, with audiovisual and hands-on features throughout.
Visits are self-guided with a brief introduction on arrival. Guided tours are available in high season at no additional charge.
Photography is only permitted on the ground floor.
