Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, Colonial museum in Saint John, Antigua and Barbuda.

The Museum of Antigua and Barbuda occupies the colonial Court House, built in 1747 on the site of the first city market and the oldest building still in use in St. John's. Inside are Arawak and colonial artifacts from island excavations, a life-sized replica of an Arawak house, models of sugar plantations, and Viv Richards' cricket bat.

The building was constructed in 1747 as a courthouse and remains the oldest still-used structure in Saint John. This long history makes it an important witness to the island's colonial past.

The museum holds Arawak and colonial artifacts recovered on archaeological digs across the islands, including a life-sized replica of an Arawak house. Its exhibits also cover the history of the island and the sugar plantation era, and the collection includes Viv Richards' cricket bat.

The museum occupies the colonial Court House on the site of St. John's first market, and the locomotives stand outside the building, so they can be seen without entering. Inside, the displays cover both Arawak and colonial finds from digs on the islands. The museum keeps a list of the country's official historic sites, useful when planning visits elsewhere on Antigua.

Four preserved sugar rail locomotives sit on the grounds, including Marion, a Kerr Stuart steam engine from 1911. These rare machines show the industrial past of sugar production on the island.
