Yes this place certainly has a very interesting history. From the polynesians to the the first convict setttlement, later the second convict settlement and then the Pitcairn Islanders - descendants of the munity on the Bounty crew. They encourage tourists to discover the islands history, both good and bad (and the bad is real bad - humanity at its lowest). They even have a night time "ghosts tour" - creepy!!
