About Us
Welcome to the Barbados National Trust! We are the premier organisation on the island dedicated to preserving Barbados' considerable architectural, historical and ecological wealth for future generations of visitors and Barbadians to enjoy.
Formed in 1961, we have now acquired eight major visitor attractions, which we are sure you will want to visit. These range from lush, green Welchman Hall Gully to imposing Gun Hill Signal Station, perched on a hill with stunning views of the island. From the beautiful blooms of Andromeda Botanic Gardens to Tyrol Cot Heritage Village - home of one of the founding fathers of Barbadian democracy, and site of a unique recreated 1920s model village, complete with blacksmith's forge and craft shops. See the real Barbados and learn about the wonders and mysteries of Speightstown on the Arbib Nature and Heritage Trail, or visit a working sugar factory at the Sir Frank Hutson Sugar Museum. Take in some of the most spectacular scenery on the island as you visit Morgan Lewis Mill - one of the oldest, largest and longest-operating mills in the region - or wonder at peaceful splendour of the Bridgetown Synagogue.
We also publish books of historical interest, and our sites can be booked for weddings and other functions.
Why not become a member? We have over 1500 members, spread through out the world, and in addition to benefits in Barbados, our members enjoy free entrance to National Trust sites throughout Great Britain, parts of Canada and the US, Australia and New Zealand, and even in as far flung locations as Zimbabwe and the Fiji Islands!
We are based at recently-restored Wildey House, a Georgian mansion from the 1760s - one of our many restoration projects. In addition to the conservation of our architectural heritage, we are pioneers in environmental conservation in Barbados.
