Colombus Park Museum - Discovery Bay, Jamaica - History Museums on Waymarking.com

Columbus Park is an open-air historical and archaeological museum, set on 3 acres of Discovery Bay, overlooking the ocean. The museum features a wide range of artefacts which were excavated when the Kaiser Bauxite processing plant was developed.

Artefacts include: a section of aqueduct from a sugar estate; a water wheel; the engine carriage from a train which was used to transport sugar; Cannons; an Arawak canoe; a "tally" (the tool used to count bananas, made famous by the song "come Mr Tally-Man".

The museum has recently been remodelled and now includes a bar and a branch of the popular jerk restaurant "Scotchies". There are also ambitious plans to further develop the museum in the future.
