The Heritage Museum of The Bahamas is the foundation of Graycliff's new Heritage Village.

Located in the historically preserved Mountbatten House on West Hill Street, the museum offers visitors - local and international alike - an in depth look at the history and heritage of The Bahamas, ranging from the pre-historic times to today.

Hamilton White, a friend of the Garzaroli family and well-known British antiques collector first introduced the Garzaroli's to his collection upon learning of plans to develop the one-of-a-kind Heritage Village in Nassau in early 2012. As Mr. White says "I've always been an avid collector of antiques, and have long had a particular interest in the heritage and history of The Bahamas and neighboring Caribbean. When I then discovered the Garzaroli family's plan to redevelop the property for their Heritage Village project, it seemed like a natural fit to me - the right people to work with, an incredible historical building, and perfect timing for such a great opportunity."
