Anguilla / Special Interests / Historical Sites

Anguilla’s small size means there is not a huge selection of historical sites on the island, but there are a few buildings of note that give a view into Anguilla’s past, notably the island’s only remaining plantation house, a disused salt factory and its oldest church, dating from 1830.

Old Salt Factory & Pumphouse, Sandy Ground 

Formerly a storage shed for salt harvested from the salt pond, now a bar. 

Wallblake House, The Valley 
Built in 1787, it is Anguilla’s only remaining plantation house. This is a private house in which there are sometimes exhibitions of art.

Ebenezer Methodist Church

The oldest church in Anguilla. Set on Coronation Avenue, the old part of town, it was built in 1830.
