George Washington House

George Washington House in Barbados is a notable house where the future first U.S. President George Washington visited, in 1751. He was 19 years of age at the time and going with his debilitated relative, Lawrence Washington. In 2011, the property was assigned as a UNESCO secured property inside the World Heritage Site of Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison area. Barbados evidently is the main nation outside the present United States that George Washington ever visited.

In 1997, amid an official visit to Barbados with her better half, President William Clinton, First Lady Hillary Clinton disclosed a plaque outside the house that peruses. On the event of his visit to Barbados this plaque was exhibited by President William Jefferson Clinton to The Right Honorable Owen S. Arthur, Prime Minister, and to the People of Barbados in a soul of fellowship and altruism which ties our two nations and in acknowledgment that George Washington, the primary President of the United States of America, lived in this house amid his visit to this reasonable nation in 1751. The house is possessed and kept up by the Barbados National Trust. Tourists come here from all over the world with their family and friends.
