The museum is housed in a building located at the corner of Young and Monckton streets.
It served as a military barracks for the French army in 1704.
It was used as prison by the British for female inmates until 1880.
It then became the island's first hotel.
Two other different hotels under different owners followed, and at one point was used as a warehouse by a merchant working in St. George's.

The museum was established in 1976 by private citizens who organized as the country's historical society.
The theme is archaeology and history.
With donations received from the Republic Bank, the museum is slated to improve the quality of exhibits related to Armanadian culture and history and of the invasions.
