This small, community-run museum has an interesting array of Carib artifacts plus displays on African heritage and the colonial era.

Grenada National Museum
Staffed by enthusiastic members, this museum covers the topsy-turvy history of Grenada. It can easily absorb an hour. On some Friday evenings there are folk performances.
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
Sitting pretty at the top of the capital’s hill, St George’s Roman Catholic cathedral provides a great vantage point over the town. Though Hurricane Ivan in 2004 all but gutted the structure, it’s since been painstakingly restored.
