The Defence Heritage exhibit chronicles the history of Bermuda’s 90-odd fortifications over three centuries, from settlement in 1612 to the demise of coastal defence in 1957. It also celebrates the men and women of Bermuda who served locally and abroad, including 115 who gave their lives in the two World Wars.
