Greenwood Great House

Plantation House · St. James

Rating: 4.6 / 5

Greenwood Great House, east of Montego Bay in the parish of St. James, was built in the late 1700s by the Barrett family — the same family that produced the English poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Unlike most Jamaican great houses it escaped the fires of the 1831 Christmas Rebellion and so retains its original walls, furniture and family library along with a remarkable collection of period musical instruments, ceramics and books. Guided tours run daily and offer the most genuine plantation-era interior in Jamaica, in a quieter, less commercial setting than Rose Hall.
