Nevis Historical & Conservation Society

The Nevis Historical and Conservation Society is one of the most respected and active organisations of its kind in the Caribbean (Archaeology Magazine Jan 1996). We are located in Charlestown, Nevis at the Birthplace of Alexander Hamilton, the First Secretary of the United States Treasury. The Society is a non-profit organisation whose sources of income include endowments and pledges, admission fees, grants, gift shop sales, fundraising events, membership fees and a modest subvention from the Nevis Island Administration. Volunteer services are also contributed. The Society operates three museums: the newly redeveloped Museum of Nevis History, Hamilton House, showcasing the life of Alexander Hamilton who was born on Nevis (an American patriot, designer of the US Constitution, and developer of the US monetary system) and the Nelson Museum which has the (largest collection of Horatio Nelson memorabilia in the new world).
