The new Wyannie Malone
Historical Museum is created for your enjoyment, for the preservation
of our past and the education of our young people. With the future completion
of the Complex, we are planning new displays, which will portray the
life and times of Elbow Cay and its environs over the past two centuries
and beyond. Currently, we are still restoring and developing as we pick
up the pieces from the destruction of Hurricane Floyd on September 14,
1999. Our previous residence was badly damaged by the Hurricane and
many of our artifacts are in need of restoration. Our new location and
buildings are designed to minimize the chance of this ever happening
again.
The Wyannie Malone House, is modeled after one of Hope Town's oldest
houses and will be finished and furnished to approximate its 19th Century
appearance. The Balcony House, the outside of which approximates another
authentic Loyalist dwelling, will contain other exhibits that do not
belong in a residence.
