Copies can be found in the airport, but kids love discovering the real things so much more! You can also roam through the ruins of a Loyalist cotton plantation at Cheshire Hall. There are signs erected by The National Trust to explain about life here during the late 1700’s through the mid 1800’s. A nominal $10 entry fee helps to “Preserve our National Hertiage.” A boat charter can get you to Fort St. George Cay to see cannons, now coral encrusted in shallow waters, which were once used to protect a Loyalist settlement.
