Lets take a journey to the Greenwood Great House, an impeccably preserved relic of the island’s plantation era. Built in the early 1800s by the Barrett family, relatives of famed poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, this estate offers a more refined and authentic portrayal of colonial life. Unlike many great houses that fell to ruin during slave uprisings, Greenwood remains intact, boasting an extraordinary collection of antique musical instruments, rare books, and original furnishings. Walk through its grand halls and admire hand-carved mahogany antiques while learning about the cultural and historical significance of the estate. Together, the Rose Hall and Greenwood Great House tour presents two contrasting yet equally captivating perspectives—one shrouded in ghostly legends and the other a testament to Jamaica’s aristocratic heritage—creating an unforgettable experience for history enthusiasts and curious travelers alike.
