Trench Town Culture Yard
A community-run museum in the government yard where Bob Marley and the Wailers lived and wrote many of their songs, now a protected heritage site. Residents lead the visit through small rooms and the yard, with murals, artefacts and live music. Streets nearby carry painted history signs about Trench Town's musicians.
