Bermuda National Trust Museum in the Globe Hotel

Governor Samuel Day built this structure in 1700. Today it is one of the oldest stone buildings on our island.

The offices of the Confederate agent, Major Norman Walker, were housed here during the American Civil War (1861–1865), which makes this significant historic building a most appropriate site for the exhibit “Rogues & Runners—Bermuda and the American Civil War.”
