The National Library and Museum is located on Shirley Street, not far from downtown Nassau. It’s a quirky, unique building dating from 1798. It is one if the oldest buildings in Nassau and is octagonal! It was originally constructed as a prison but later became a library. There are four floors. The room on the top floor, called the board room, is encircled by a veranda that offers views across the grounds. 

The Little Schoolhouse is actually a little school house! It is located not far from down town Nassau, and it’s where my wife started teaching first grade when we first married. She had three great years teaching with a wonderful, small community of students and colleagues. The building is an old colonial style wooden structure that has been lovingly restored and well maintained by the school.
