History

The Firefly Estate, located 10 km (6 mi) east of Oracabessa, Jamaica, was the Caribbean home of Sir Noël Coward and is the site of his grave. It is now listed as a National Heritage Site by the Jamaica National Heritage Trust. Although the setting is idyllic, the house, built in 1956, is surprisingly spartan, considering that he often entertained jet-setters and royalty. The building has been transformed into a writer's house museum.
