Betty`s Hope is a big part of Antigua`s history and is a great sightseeing destination even though the only surviving structures are two stone sugar mills and the remains of the stillhouse. The site`s importance in Antiguan history is so profound that the government has begun developing it as an open air museum. Betty`s Hope was built by Sir Christopher Codrington, who came to Antigua in 1674 from Barbados, and was named for his daughter.
