Verdmont

Verdmont, located at 6 Verdmont Lane, off Sayle Road, at the top of Collector’s Hill, in Smith's Parish, Bermuda is a historic house built c. 1710, now operated as a museum by the Bermuda National Trust.

The house is listed as part of England's "African Diaspora Heritage Trail", part of UNESCO's Slave Route Project.

[1] In the 17th century, before the house was built, the property belonged to William Sayle, who left Bermuda to become the first governor of South Carolina in 1670.

The house has four large chimneys and contains collections of antique Bermuda axelwood furniture, Bermuda portraits, and English and Chinese porcelain.

[3] The period-style gardens have a panoramic view over Bermuda's south shore and include roses, herbs, and other plants cultivated in the 18th century.
