Jamaica Attractions and Sight Seeing


Rose Hall Great House

Rose Hall Great House in St. Ann

The Rose Hall Great House serves as one of Jamaica's premier tourist attractions. It was formerly the home of Annie Palmer, the white witch of Rose Hall. Dead for over 100 years, her legend still evokes memories of her monstrous reign as the mistress of the Great House. All three of her husbands met their death at her hands, while countless slaves suffered as a result of her ruthlessness. Her evil reign ended with her murder in 1831.
Following years of abandonment and neglect after Annie's death, the Great House was purchased and restored by U.S. entrepreneurs John and Michele Rollins of Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.A. The multi-million dollar refurbishment brought the Great House back to its original architectural splendor complete with antique furnishings and decor, as well as enchanting gardens, walkways and vistas. Your tour will also include a visit to Annie's Pub in the dungeon of the Great House, one of the most charming taverns in the Caribbean. The Rose Hall Great House, including our Gift Ship is truly a visitor's delight.
