St. David’s Island Historical
Society at Carter House
34 Southside Road, St. David’s Island
Built in the 17th century by the descendants
of Christopher Carter,
who was wrecked on Bermuda in
the Sea Venture in 1609, and remains
today largely in its original
form. It is now the museum of the
St. David’s Island Historical Society
where the culture and history of
the unique people of St David’s is
exhibited. Nestled next to Carter House amongst endemic and
native plants and trees as well as Bermuda mystery roses, is a replica
settlers' dwelling, c. 1612, built using the same English techniques,
17th century tools and local materials, including a Palmetto
thatched roof—a 400th anniversary project.
