Situated in the Botanical Gardens, the Archeological Museum houses a magnificent collection of stone tools and artifacts. In front of it are planted shrubs which might have been found in the compound of an early Indian home.

Botanical GardensLocated on approximately 20 acres of land and overlooked by the Governor General's House, the Botanial Gardens are the oldest in the Western Hemisphere having been established in 1765. Among the tropical trees and shrubs is a breadfruit tree descended from the original tree brought to the island by Captain Bligh (of the Bounty Fame) in 1793. |

Nature Trails - Buccament ValleyThe trails start near the top of Buccament Valley. There are two and are marked clearly. They lead through typical tropical rain forest where there is a chance of seeing (and/or hearing) the St. Vincent Parrot, Amazona guildingii, Whistling Warbler, both unique to St.Vincent and strictly protected nationally and internationally. Also to be seen are the black hawk, the cocoa thrush, the crested humming bird, the red-capped green tanager, green heron and several other interesting species. This is an area very suitable for a picnic. |

St. George's CathedralTo quote Buisseret and Clarke, "The nave and at least the lower stages of the tower date from 1820 and the galleried interior is a charming example of the late Georgian architecture." There are some beautiful stained glass windows, three on the East by Kempe and a large one on the South of Munich glass. |
