Charlestown
Walk up and down the streets of this delightful town and see one of the best remaining examples of the colonial era in the Caribbean. The lack of modernization has kept much of Charlestown in its original state, and local efforts are underway to preserve the original buildings. There are numerous 18th and 19th century buildings that are Georgian in style and fit into a certain scale. Most of them in town were built with stone first floors and wooden structure upstairs. The first floor were shops and the merchants lived above them. Many of them have hip roofs.

Museum of Nevis History
This two-story Georgian style building was the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton, who was born in Nevis in 1757. He only lived on the island until the age of nine, and then moved to St. Croix with his mother. Later in his life, he helped draft the U.S. Constitution and was the first secretary of the Treasury. He was an out spoken advocate of the emancipation of slavery. The building today, known as Hamilton House, houses one of the island's two museums on the first floor. The second floor is the meeting room for the Nevis House of Assembly. The lovely stone building was built around 1680, but was destroyed in an earthquake in 1840, and then restored in 1983. Its historic value coupled with its beautiful setting on Charlestown harbour overlooking St. Kitts in the distance make it an island treasure and a delightful place to spend an afternoon.

The Christena Memorial Plaque
This Memorial Plaque was erected and unveiled on Wednesday 1st August 2001 in memory of approximately 233 persons who lost their lives on August 1st 1970 when the government ferry “MV Christena” sank off Nags Head.  Located on Samuel Hunkins Drive in the vicinity of the Museum of Nevis History, the plaque lists the names of the 233 Kittians and Nevisians who perished in this unforgettable tragedy. The impact of this tragedy is still felt throughout the twin-island federation as most families were touched in some way.

Hamilton Estate
Just outside of Charlestown are the ruins of the Hamilton Estate, which was a sugar plantation until the 1950's owned by the Hamilton family. After sugar operation ceased, it became a diversified agricultural farm where a wide variety of products, from cotton to vegetables, were grown.

Many enjoy visiting the ruins today, and the wonderful views of Charlestown and St. Kitts from the hillside where it is located. The ruins include foundations of a Great House, Windmill, Cistern, and chimney, boiling house and steam engine.

Jewish Cemetary and Jew's Walk
The earliest tombstone dates back to 1769 in this small cemetery that was established by the Jews who came to Nevis to work in the sugar industry. The engraved tombstones are written in English, Hebrew, and Portuguese, since these were Sephardic Jews, who had come to Nevis from Brazil. They came to the Island to introduce the technology of sugar production to the island. Across from the cemetery is a long narrow path adjacent to a stonewall, leading to an area where many believe a synagogue was located. It's suspected that a synagogue was located there, but it's yet to be proven.

Eden Brown Estate
Located in the countryside, about 30 minutes from Charlestown, the Eden Brown Estate was originally a sugar plantation, but cotton was grown there until the mid-1900's. But the circa 1740 plantation, with a great house and other outbuildings has a history unlike many of the other plantations, and some believe it is haunted. A duel took place at the house in 1822, the night before the wedding of Julia Huggins, between her betrothed and the best man, who was her brother. A recent discovery of an old letter has shown that the bridegroom survived, and he went to propose to another woman. However, her father forbade her from marrying a "murderer." As the story goes, Julia spent the rest of her days as a recluse in the house, and can still be heard today as she wanders through the ruins.
