| Information | |
The Globe Hotel in St George's is one of the oldest stone buildings in Bermuda, dating from around 1700. It was built on Crown land by the Governor of the time, Samuel Day, to serve as a new Government House, but Day took too much of a liking to his new creation and arranged for the land to granted to him personally - only to lose it on his bankruptcy. In about 1720 the house was sold to the locally influential Tucker family.
The Bermuda National Trust Museum is housed here, featuring a video presentation and gift shop on the main floor and permanent exhibit upstairs.
During the American Civil War (1861-1865), the offices of the Confederate agent, Major Norman Walker, were housed here. Accordingly the hotel hosts a permanent exhibit on Bermuda and the American Civil War.
