This plantation house is likely the last remaining authentic house of the 17th century that exists anywhere in the "New World". While this residence was built around 1658 with brick and limestone, many other ancient structures in North America were made of timber, and have long since perished. The residence was built only 30 years after Barbados' settlement by the British in 1627. The Plantation produces award winning rum and they are always delighted to offer you a sample.
