Located in Falmouth, the Outameni Experience uses music, drama, and dance to take visitors through Jamaica’s history. The word Outameni means “Come Together” in Taino, which is similar to “Out of many one people” – Jamaica’s motto. Upon entering the site, guests are greeted by Jonkanoo dancers, and taken to  “Di Hut” to learn the “follow back-a-me” song. Next, visitors take a tour of Jamaica’s history through six villages: the Taino Indians village, the Spanish village, the English village, the African slave ship, the Asian village and lastly a modern day representation of Jamaica. Built on the former Orange Valley Sugar Estate, the site features a 1793 sugar mill, the Orange Valley Great House and a garden with trees and herbs. Jamaican film producer Lennie Little-White, creator of Royal Palm Estate fame, designed the Outameni Experience. With the help of architects, costume designers and actors, the site opened to the public on September 30, 2007.
