( Nevis Tourism Authority / TNS ) The remains of Golden Rock, a former sugar plantation, have been incorporated into a quaint four-star inn. Once, Nevis had more than 100 sugar plantations. Ironically, even the museum chronicling the life of the man on the American $10 bill only charges $5 for admission. Nisbet is but one of the island’s accommodations that have been fashioned from former sugar plantations. The industry thrived in the 18th and 19th centuries, and some 100 plantations made Nevis one of Great Britain’s richest colonies.
