Many visitors to Jamaica come only to visit the country's world famous beaches along the Ocho Rios and the diverse resorts scattered along the north coast of this Caribbean nation. For those persons planning a visit to Jamaica, or those who are looking for information about sites of historic and archaeological importance, the Jamaica National Heritage Trust will be useful. Visitors to the site will find information about historic sites in the country organized by geographical location (in this case, by parish) and by building type or function, such as forts and churches. Each entry contains information about the structure, along with the reasons for its inclusion on the National Heritage list. The site also has material on the Trust's outreach programs, such as the archaeological excavations throughout the country, many of them dealing with the culture of the indigenous groups and former slave communities.
