Grenada National Museum
A small museum housed in the former site of an 18th-century French barracks and women's prison, telling the story of the Indigenous peoples, colonial rule and the 1983 revolution.
The museum sits on the corner of Young Street and Monckton Street in St. George's. The building itself is part of an 18th-century French barracks dating to 1704. Exhibits include Arawak pottery and rock carvings, rum stills from the plantation era, relics of the spice trade, and photographs and documents from the 1979 revolution and the 1983 US military invasion. It is modest in size but offers a quick introduction to the island's history. Admission is about US$2-5, and the museum is closed on Sundays.
