The Grenada National Museum occupies a historic building that once served as a French prison and later a British jail. Its exhibits trace the island's story from the Amerindian era through European colonization to independence. Highlights include a collection of Carib and Arawak pottery, a sugar mill, and artifacts from the 1983 U.S. invasion. The museum's cramped rooms and eclectic displays offer an intimate, unpolished look at Grenadian heritage, making it a fascinating stop for history buffs.
