Museum of Antigua and Barbuda

The Museum of Antigua and Barbuda displays archaeological artifacts, sugar plantation models, and indigenous cultural items within a historic courthouse building.

Constructed in 1747 as a courthouse designed by architect Peter Harrison, the structure stands as the oldest building still utilized in Saint John.

The museum exhibits include a full-scale reproduction of an Arawak dwelling and collections of pre-Columbian ceramics that represent indigenous Caribbean societies.

The institution maintains a research library containing historical documents, maps, and photographs, accessible to scholars and visitors studying Caribbean heritage.

The exterior grounds feature four preserved sugar cane locomotives, including Marion, a Kerr Stuart steam engine from 1911, and Bessie from 1917.
