Museum of Nevis History, History museum in Charlestown, Saint Kitts and Nevis.
The Museum of Nevis History occupies a two-story stone building on Main Street, featuring exhibitions about the island's development through artifacts and documents.
The original structure from 1680 underwent reconstruction after an earthquake in 1840 and received complete renovation works during 1983 to maintain its architectural elements.
The museum collection includes exhibits ranging from early Amerindian settlements through colonial times to modern Nevis, displaying the evolution of local society.
Located in central Charlestown, the museum opens Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM and Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM during December to April.
The building marks the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton, who spent his first eight years at this location before becoming a Founding Father of the United States.
