[an error occurred while processing this directive] Bahamas Historical Society Museum is a museum dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history of the Bahamas. It is housed in a small colonial building painted pink, at the corner of Shirley Street and Elizabeth Avenue, in Nassau. The front façade has a pediment surmounting four Corinthian columns.

As its name indicates, the museum is managed by the Bahamas Historical Society, a non-profit organization geared towards stimulating an interest in the history of the Bahamas. Founded in 1959, the society works to gather, document, interpret and preserve documents relevant in explaining the country's history.

In addition to running the museum, the society also publishes articles and newsletters explaining the history of the Bahamas. Many of its publications are available for purchase at the museum book shop.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
