Fodor's Expert Review The South Eleuthera Mission

A superb example of a historic Bahamian colonial building, The South Eleuthera Mission, also called Mission House, sits on the Rock Sound waterfront and is open to visitors during regular business hours. Originally built in the 1850s, the reconstruction of a Methodist manse was overseen by volunteer Patricia Rose Maclean, a British designer highly experienced in period restoration. The facility now houses a library and Internet café and offers free tours to visitors who want to view the historical house. They also offer after-school programs for kids, a summer youth program, and other community-based programs.
