Union Island Museum & Ecological Society- UIMES

IT'S VAT FREE DAY TODAY: FRIDAY 19TH DECEMBER 2025. BUT THE SIGHT IN KINGSTOWN TELLS DIFFERENT STORY. MOST STORES HAD TO CLOSE THEIR DOORS IN ORDER TO MANAGE THE CROWD WAITING TO GET IN....NOT A PRETTY SIGHT OH!!

Today, Monday 6th June, 2022, a public holiday, thirty students from the Stephanie Browne Primary School, the Mary Hutchinson Primary School and, the Union Island Secondary School went on an educational tour to two of Union Island's Forts; Fort Rapid that overlooks Chatham Bay and Fort Irene that overlooks Ashton Bay.

The students, accompanied by four teachers from all the three schools, totally enjoyed themselves. They learnt of the early history of Union Island and the reasons for the building of the Forts by the British settlers.

Union Island also has a third Fort: Fort Murray located on the eastern end of the Island and overlooks the Clifton Harbour.

Today's event was organised by the Union Island Museum & Ecological Society.

Some first hand reflections by some who were directly involved in the Uprising.

It has been forty years ago on December 7, 1979 that Union Island experienced one of the most enduring moments in its history. It is therefore absolutely critical for us as Unionites whether you reside locally or in the diaspora to learn about that event and to assess how far we have come as a people.
