Detailed itinerary

Once owned by Anni Palmer otherwise called the "White Witch". She was a slave master, a wealthy one at that.

Cursed by slaves, the White Witch Annie Palmer, turned a magnificent plantation into a hell house of atrocities. Countless slaves fell prey to her torture, and all three of her husbands met their death at her hands. The Great House is but one of many attractions on the 6,600-acre Rose Hall Plantation.

Greenwood Great House is over 200 years old. It was formerly owned by the family of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the famous English poet.

"Built during an era of elegance and brutality, Greenwood has retained the atmosphere of the 19th century and continues to capture the imagination of its visitors. The house was built by the Barretts of Wimpole Street London in 1800. Unique among local plantation houses, Greenwood survived unscathed during the slave rebellion of Christmas 1831. It still has most of its original furniture including the largest and rarest collection of musical instruments and books in the island."
