My husband and I toured Rose Hall while we were in Montego Bay a few years ago.. It was a really neat tour, very interesting, and very creepy!!

looks like fun!

Totally creepy painting.. They think this is Annie Palmer.. (all pictures of her were burned when she was murdered by her slave lover).. Wherever you move the eyes and head follow you! Yikes!

Annie's bed.. (supposedly you can see images in the headboard) she murdered three husbands in this house along with numerous lovers... Then she was murdered herself at the age of 29..

It's a nice tour & interesting if you haven't done it before. I've been probably 3 times, last time a bit disappointing, mainly because the entry price had pretty much doubled. If it had been my first tour, it probably wouldn't have bothered me but still, $25? My thought was it's awfully steep for what you get. That opinion hasn't changed.
School children are often there on tours w/ their classmates. Reading the book - The White Witch of Rose Hall - before or after will help one appreciate the history. Me... I love history & historical architecture so I'm drawn to such places. Personally, I now prefer the Greenwood Great House which is relatively nearby. It houses the largest collection of antiques in one place in Jamaica. It's little known so not crowded but a great experience, nonetheless. Amazing view, peaceful, great history, reasonable entrance fee (probably half of Rose Hall)... ties to Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
yes it is
We did this tour in November. It was incredible to think that such architechture was handmade....beautiful. Got some really awesome pictures that we've blown up and framed. And I bought The White Witch book in the gift shop. Was an interesting read, especially after being there.
