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.

    The Wyannie Malone Historical Museum Society mourns the passing of our Administrator, Secretary, Head Genealogist and friend, Mrs. Linda Cole. Linda was a valuable member of not only the Museum family but the community. Her love of the Hope Town and our history is evident in her tireless efforts at preservation through the displays and artifacts found in the Wyannie Malone Museum. Her first love, however, was the genealogy of our residents and their connections not only to Wyannie Malone, but to the global community. Her research has yielded many interesting facts and uncovered links to family worldwide. Linda will be sorely missed by the Museum Society and the community at large.
