Stroll through downtown St. John’s, following a route that the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda has prepared, which ensures that you will see the most historically significant landmarks. The city has retained much of its original layout and is full of magnificent Georgian, Victorian and West Indian vernacular homes. Along the way, the guide will point out architectural features such as lattice work, fretwork patterns and louvered Demerara windows designed to cool the interiors. You can also expect to see the 19th-century Ebenezer Methodist Church and the Cenotaph war memorial that honors soldiers killed in the World Wars. You will also have the opportunity to browse the exhibits in the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda with the curator, who will elaborate on the significance of artifacts ranging from prehistoric pottery and tools to rare hand-carved canoes.
