St.Georges

St. George was the original settlement in Bermuda, and it was the capital until 1815. It is a delightful town to walk around, with many interesting sights to see.

King's Square is the main hub of town, and you will occasionally find the town crier (the town mayor, who also leads candlelight tours of the town) re-enacting scenes from years past in costume. The beautiful 18th century Town Hall fronts the square, and nearby is the Old State House, one of Bermuda's oldest buildings dating from 1619. The Old State House was originally known as Sessions House, and it was the first home of the colonial assembly.

Be sure not to miss St. Peter's Church, which is the oldest Anglican Church outside of Britain. While there, walk around the church graveyard, where you can learn more about the history of Bermuda, including shipwrecks, epidemics and wars. There are several museums to visit in St. George’s Town, including the Tucker House Museum and several art galleries. Fort St. Catherine is another attraction not to be missed, with its museum containing weapons, jewels and dioramas.
