Liberty Hill Great House sits 1200 feet above sea level on 25 acres, just minutes from the historical town of St. Ann's Bay. Liberty Hill Great House was built in 1740. It is an old pimento plantation. The Parish of St. Ann is one of the oldest populated areas in Jamaica tracing back to 600 - 650 A.D. It is believed to be the earliest Taino/Arawak settlement in Jamaica.

When Christopher Columbus first came to Jamaica in 1494, he landed on the shores of St. Ann. In 1912 an Arawak kitchen, midden was discovered, situated at the top of the hill upon which Liberty Hill stands. It is thought that the Arawak attached to this midden supplied Columbus and his men with food.
