Cheshire Hall Plantation
It's hard to believe that Cheshire Hall Plantation is so close to the Providenciales business district. As soon as you pass through the refuge of its rugged stone wall, you feel the present disappear. Sounds of traffic, construction and airplanes vanish and a lonely quiet takes their place, the silence filled with memories of the past.
In April 2003, the Turks and Caicos Islands National Trust reopened the Cheshire Hall Loyalist Plantation National Historic Site for public tours. Visitors will find interpretive signs, stone-lined nature trails, plant identification markers and an informative leaflet. The goal, says executive director Ethlyn Gibbs-Williams, is to encourage visitors and residents to understand and appreciate the country's deep historical roots and natural history. |
