Dating to 1798, this fascinating museum complex includes the main house building, the
area's only detached kitchen building and a reconstructed wash-house. All are set on im-
maculately manicured grounds, dating to St Augustine's original town plan of 1572. Mag-
nificently restored and chock-a-block full of artifacts and relics, the museum focuses
primarily on the property's role as a boarding house/inn during the period 1826 to 1875.
