Rose Hall Great House
About This Museum
It’s a truth rarely spoken in the glossy brochures: one of Jamaica's most popular historic homes is famous as much for its ghost as its grandeur. Perched on a hillside overlooking the Caribbean Sea, this white-columned mansion presents a vision of Georgian elegance that starkly contrasts with its dark, whispered history. The tour guides, who know every creak in the polished wood floors, will lead you through rooms filled with period furniture and portraits, all while weaving the infamous legend of Annie Palmer, the 'White Witch' said to haunt the halls. You don't just see this place; you feel its heavy, complicated past in the sea breeze that drifts through the jalousie windows.
Collection Highlights
The tour is anchored by Annie Palmer's four-poster bed and her portrait hanging ominously above the grand staircase, but you'll also find antique mahogany furniture and historical documents that piece together the plantation's sobering reality.
