Museum of Nevis History, History museum in Charlestown, Saint Kitts and Nevis.

The Museum of Nevis History occupies a two-story building in Charlestown, with the museum on the ground floor and the Nevis Island Assembly on the upper floor. Its collection includes a detailed map of Fort Charles drawn in 1679, showing the positions and dimensions of the original walls and several secondary structures within them.

The building was erected around 1680 and was the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton. An earthquake destroyed it in 1840, and it was rebuilt before a restoration carried out in 1983. The ground floor now holds the museum, while the Nevis Island Assembly meets on the upper floor.

The collection traces how society developed on the island through different eras, showing daily life and community growth. Visitors can see how local culture shifted as the island transformed.

The museum is located in the town center and easy to reach on foot. Visiting on weekdays gives you better access to staff who can answer questions about the exhibits.
