Fairview Great House & Botanical Gardens
About This Museum
Tucked away in the lush hills of Boyd's Village, just a stone's throw from Basseterre, the Fairview Great House feels like stepping through a portal into the 18th century. It’s not just a house but a living chronicle, where every piece of mahogany furniture and faded photograph tells a story of the French and British families who once called it home. The real magic extends outside, where you can wander through terraced botanical gardens bursting with heliconias, rare orchids, and fragrant cinnamon trees. It’s a profoundly peaceful place that beautifully intertwines history with the vibrant life of the tropics.
Collection Highlights
The main house is filled with period-appropriate West Indian antiques, from grand four-poster beds to delicate china. Don't miss the old kitchen building or the stunning collection of tropical plants in the gardens, each labeled for curious minds.
