Mitchell House

Mitchell House, which was originally built by Walter Mitchell, was most notably owned by a prosperous black Bermudian couple. The couple had their own slaves and maintained a successful restaurant in the town of St. George's called The Gun Tavern. From its construction until the nineteenth century, the home changed hands several times, and different improvements were built. It has served as a house for families and widows, as well as a private teaching company, a hotel, and a pub.

With numerous cooking equipment from an 18th-century home, the kitchen is immaculately preserved. A letter from George Washington, a 300-year-old bible, and blades for whale flensing are among the notable items in the residence. The present is a well in the garden that has been there at least since the 1820s and was most likely the town's well in the 17th and 18th centuries. Mitchell House, which is now a museum and features an artist's studio as well as an antique printing press that was used to publish the island's first newspaper, is owned and operated by the St. George's Historical Society.
