The cellar is home to a vintage printing press and a gift shop. A Guttenberg press was brought to Bermuda by Joseph Stockdale in 1783 and our replica is still able to produce printed material.

It’s time to catch up on life in Bermuda’s History.

In 1922 the St. George’s Historical Society acquired Mitchell House and it now stands as a museum.

Notable artefacts displayed at Mitchell house include a 300-year-old bible and the State House Table dating from 1620.
In the garden, you will find a well that has been there since the 1820s and was likely the well used by the entire town of St. Georges in the 17th and 18th centuries for fresh water.

The Museum.

In the house you will find a pristinely preserved colonial-era kitchen with various cooking implements that would have been commonly found in an 18th century home. Among them are examples of utensils used by the early settlers like palmetto baskets and calabash dipping gourds.

Looking for something to do that is local We walked from our cruise ship and found this place. Cost $5 to enter. Our guide (Sandra) was outstanding and a wealth of information. As to the house being a typical Bermuda house, yes but typical for a rich Bermuda family. Lots of history and a cornacopia of miscellaneous decorations. We enjoyed our visit.

A peek at St. George’s history Beautiful museum with artifacts such as a table made in 1620 from Bermuda cedar, and a bible printed in Amsterdam in 1644. The guide was very helpful and engaging.
