Walk the
Town !
Cockburn Town is the administrative capital and the historic
and cultural center of the islands. It is strongly reputed
to be the landfall island of Columbus during his discovery
of the New World in 1492. The town itself is well suited for
a walking tour. Duke and Font Streets are lined with
historic 18th and 19th century landmarks that reflect the
Bermudan style architecture of the salt era. Two of these
buildings are now popular inns, another in the governor's
residence, other government offices, the public library,
churches and private residence and fraternities
At the
Turks & Caicos National Museum you will find a
central exhibit that tells the story of the Molasses Reef
Wreck, the oldest European shipwreck discovered in the
Western Hemisphere (dated around 1505). It also discloses
the rich cultural and natural diversity of the islands.
Other historic sites include the Lighthouse, Fire hill and
the Hawks Nest Anchorage
