Pedro St. James National Historic Site is a restored great house dating from 1780’s. The house was destroyed by a fire in the 1970’s, but with its rebirth stands a new heritage park with a visitor’s center, and an audiovisual theater with a laser light show. The importance of the great house is that it was the first place that residents met to elect the Caymans legislative assembly in the 1830’s. The great house sits atop a limestone bluff with a panoramic view of the sea. The attraction has a landscaped courtyard, a gift shop, and a cafe. Self-guided tours are available. You can explore the house's wide verandas, rough-hewn timber beams, gabled framework, mahogany floors and staircases, and wide-beam wooden ceilings. The cool thing about visiting the guest house is that you can find guides in 18th-century costumes on hand to answer questions.
