Saint Eustatius Historical Foundation Museum

The St. Eustatius Historical Foundation was founded in 1974 to promote the exploration and dissemination of the exceptional history and culture of this unique Caribbean island - the Historic Gem! The founding members of the Historical Foundation and its subsequent boards have provided a vision that has created a world-class Museum, archaeological fieldwork programmes with the St. Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research (SECAR), the Monuments Foundation and the framework for an Island Monuments Ordinance, impetus for the Historic Core Restoration Project, and the concept of a Living History Museum. This has been made possible through membership and museum entrance fees, sales of local crafts, private donations and grants.
