Liberty Hill Great House

Liberty Hill Great House, located in St. Ann, Jamaica, has a rich history dating back to the late 1700s. The plantation was originally listed in the 1786 Crop Accounts as a pimento farm, with a variety of other crops, such as cotton, coffee, and plantains. The property, initially owned by the Tracey family, was a key producer of pimento, and it also included the rental of enslaved Africans, which was common during this time. As the plantation changed hands over the years, the crops shifted to include bananas and cocoa by the 1940s. In 1912, a significant discovery of Taino artifacts was made on the property, revealing pottery decorated with unique designs, some of which are now housed at the Institute of Jamaica. Today, Liberty Hill Great House is owned by Jennifer Kerr and associates, and the site is now used as a venue for weddings, corporate events, and other gatherings. The estate has become a part of Jamaica’s heritage, preserving its agricultural roots and cultural significance for future generations.
