Rose Hall Great House

[Yvonne]

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.
