Visit
Explore the rooms of George Washington House with a self-guided audio tour available in several languages. The tour leads visitors through the historic residence, sharing stories of George Washington’s time on the island and offering insight into everyday life in colonial Bridgetown.
Displays throughout the house help bring the 18th century to life, exploring Barbados’ role in the wider Atlantic world and the experiences of the people who lived and worked on the island during Washington’s visit.
Tunnels & Garrison
Beneath the house, visitors can also explore part of a network of underground tunnels associated with the nearby Barbados Garrison. These passages reveal another layer of the island’s history and the strategic importance of Barbados within the British Caribbean.
The museum sits within the historic Garrison district, part of the Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison, where visitors can stroll among some of the best-preserved 18th- and 19th-century British military buildings in the Caribbean.
