The Verdmont Museum is a historic house museum located in Smith’s Parish. It was built in the early 18th century as a private residence for John Dickinson, a wealthy merchant, and has since been preserved as a museum showcasing Bermudian architecture, decorative arts, and social history.
The house itself is a beautiful example of Georgian architecture, featuring high ceilings, carved cedar woodwork, and a symmetrical floor plan. Visitors can explore the various rooms of the house, including the formal drawing room, dining room, and bedrooms, which are furnished with 18th and 19th century antiques and decorative arts.
The Verdmont Museum also offers insights into the social history of Bermuda, with exhibits and displays highlighting the island’s economy, trade, and social customs during the 18th and 19th centuries. The museum’s collections include rare silver, porcelain, and crystal pieces, as well as period costumes, documents, and photographs.
In addition to the historic house and exhibits, the Verdmont Museum also features beautiful gardens and grounds that are open to the public. The gardens feature a variety of flowering plants, fruit trees, and herbs that were commonly grown in Bermuda during the 18th and 19th centuries.
