Sod turned for Dr. Sir Simeon Daniel Museum

The fourth National Hero of St Kitts and Nevis,  Dr. Sir Simeon Daniel, is being honoured by his family with a museum showcasing his life, work and contributions to St. Kitts and Nevis.

Dr. Daniel, who was the first Premier of Nevis, was described by many as a dedicated and hardworking Nevisian who put country and people above self.

On Saturday, Oct 27, family and friends officially broke ground for the museum with a simple sod turning and cocktail ceremony at Pinneys Estate adjacent to the Four Seasons Resort.

The museum, which is set to be opened in 2020, is one of a number of initiatives being undertaken by Deon Daniel, son of the late national hero, to highlight the contributions made by his father to the Federation.

This is the first such initiative to be carried out by family and friends of any of the federation’s national heroes.

Reflecting on the life of Dr. Daniel, Rawlinson Isaac described him as honourable; a statesman; submissive; self-confident and self-effacing.
