Waterville is a house in Paget Parish, Bermuda, standing at the water’s edge at the end of Hamilton Harbour; a position known as the Foot of the Lane.
The house is both a museum to Bermudian culture and also the headquarters of the Bermuda National Trust, to whom the house now belongs.
Waterville is an elegant house, built in around 1725 by the Trimingham family. It was later the site of the first Trimingham’s store, which opened in 1842.
Today the house is opened to the public as a museum. The reception rooms provide an interesting look into life in early Bermuda. The grounds are maintained as gardens, and include the Bermuda Rose Society’s showcase garden of old roses, and the Mary-Jean Mitchell Green Memorial Garden and Gazebo.
