Bowe Family Plantation

Since the Bahamian is rich with history and culture, Jaclyn and I have researched sites of historical significance to the islands.  The history site we chose to visit will be is the Bowe Family Plantation.

The plantation itself, in the past, was originally there to produce cotton.  The cotton plantation now lies in ruins.  The remains of the plantation remain standing and visitors and locals visit the plantation to see the structure and architecture of the house.  The kitchen and space quarters of the house remain standing.

Although Jaclyn does not usually participate in historical tours often, I have convinced her that this is worth seeing.  The history of a culture is forever embedded within the present and the future.  Bahamian history is no exemption to this.  When you can actually go back into history and witness tangible evidence of the past, it's worth seeing and exploring.
