For Americans visiting Barbados, a hidden piece of their nation’s history awaits them… When George Washington, the Founding President of the United States, was just a young man, his brother took ill with tuberculosis and was sent to Barbados to recover in the Tropical climate. 19-year old George soon followed and spent time exploring the island. This was George Washington’s only visit to another country throughout his life. Learn more at the property where he stayed, George Washington House, near the Garrison.
