tobago historical museum

if your into history you would find it very interesting although it has lost some of the vibes that you felt with the old museum now it has been moved into a new building . the information on the past is quite upsetting when you start reading about the land and people .

Small and interesting - great views and for someone like me who enjoys knowing a bit more about the places I visit, a worthwhile trip.

This museum is small but has interesting maps, documents and pieces of history. We'll worth the low entrance fee. No photographs allowed. Air conditioned and situated with scenic view.

Peter Cox is an amazing guide if you're into nature! He knows every bird, plant and historical reference that pertains to the island of Tobago, bar none! He's a really nice guy also, and really keeps you interested in what you're seeing.

I had no idea how much Tobago had to offer in terms of a rich historical culture until I visited this place. It was astounding.I will never take anything here for granted.

This Museum is situated in the old officer’s quarters at Fort King George high above Scarborough; enjoy the extended views across the Island or along the coast from the cannon batteries of the fort before or after your Museum visit. Museum is compact with Amerindian and pre-Columbian Indian artefacts, early French and English Maps of the Island and surrounding Islands, interesting and unusual collection of military badges / buttons from various time periods most relating to the Garrisons, Forts and local regiments. Domestic memorabilia, marine life and local seashells, worth the 2 $ US entrance fee they charge.

This museum was rather small. I suppose as much is to be expected because Tobago is small. It was very informative.

small but intereting museum with many per-colombian artefacts as well as examples from Africa and Asia showing some of the background of hte peoples of the island.

Snorkelling was lovely. Island Girl catamaran sail was a highlight. Also glass bottom boat/snorkel/swim first class

This excellent Museum represents a dedicated life time of work by Eddie Hernandez, Tobagonian historian and archivist. Visitors get a well rounded look at Tobago's past, lovingly portrayed in art and artifacts, documents and antiques. Very well put together.

Very informative. It was a great experience to learn about the history of Tobago and seeing how far Tobago has come.

If you want to get a feel for the history of Tobago, this is a great place to visit. The museum is fairly small but very informative, well staffed, and has a wide range of old charts, artifacts etc. The surrounding fort (the museum is in one of the old barracks) is well preserved with a range of interested old buildings to walk around - the fort is located high up with excellent views out to sea (with obligatory canons) and is a quiet and relaxing spot to spend some time (with plenty of staff around so feels quite secure as well).

Wer das Fort King George besucht, das wirklich sehenswert ist, sollte auf jeden Fall ins Museum gehen. Es ist bis 17.30 Uhr geöffnet und kostet 10 TT$ (ca. 2 US$) Eintritt pro Person.Man kann viele Landkarten sehen, Gegenstände, die aus der Geschichte Tobagos stammen.

Das Museum ist unbedingt einen Besuch wert, viele liebevoll ausgestellte Artifakte. Die reichhaltige Geschichte Tobago's in ueberschaubaren Rahmen.
