Venn’s Town mission ruins
Stone walls on a wooded hillside recall a school and settlement.
The story behind the place
Venn’s Town was a mission settlement on Mahé where missionaries ran a school for children of Africans liberated from slavery. Surviving walls help preserve that history within the Morne Seychellois landscape. The site is a national monument; its familiar Mission Lodge name also connects it with a later viewing place on the hill.
