The Simon Doncker Museum (St. Eustatius Historical Foundation Museum) gives an excellent overview of the history of St. Eustatius. It is located in the home of Simon Doncker – a wealthy merchant of the 1700s. The colonial-era style of the house has been maintained and contains a number of colonial artifacts and exhibits on the colonial history of Statia/St. Eustatius and the people of the island. There is also a gallery containing information and artifacts from the pre-Columbian period, where the Saladoid Indians lived on the island from around 1000 B.C. to 1000 A.D. Other information can be found about slavery and maritime history.
