One of the oldest buildings in Bermuda, this sloping whitewashed cottage was built in 1640 by the children of Christopher Carter, a member of the Sea Venture crew. Today it's a museum showcasing the whaling, fishing and farming history of the unique community of St David's. It's a real labor of love, with a wealth of household objects, photos and eyewitness testimonies from the oldest living residents of St David's.
