14 Cayman Islands National Museum in George Town, Grand Cayman

Now named the Cayman Islands National Museum, prisoners once called this building the Old Gaol when it served as a jail and courthouse. The local phrase “walking the 12 steps” meant you were about to have an unpleasant appointment with the judge. Constructed in 1833, the Cayman’s oldest building has also been a schoolhouse, bank, church and dance hall. In 1990, this waterfront structure reopened as a museum. The exhibits include natural and cultural island history including fauna, flora and over 8,000 artifacts.
