This Swiss Family Robinson Lobby Card photograph was taken in 1959, in front of the treehouse set at Nanton Estate, Goldsborough, Tobago.

The tree in which the treehouse was built, is now well over 250 years old! You can visit and give the tree a big hug at Cow Farm Road, just off the Windward Road, Goldsborough, Tobago

Swiss Family Robinson Promo photo - The lagoon crossing scene prior to the anaconda attack (Walt Disney Productions). This Swiss Family Robinson movie scene was filmed at the Bon Accord Lagoon (CLOSE TO Pigeon Point), Tobago, West Indies IN 1959. The stars are actually walking on wooden planks placed on oil drums in the water. This area of the lagoon isn’t all that murky as made to believe in the movie … the camera lighting made the area look very ominous indeed. this part of Bon Accord lagoon is just on the other side of the tip of Pigeon Point’s white sand beach (where the reef Party boats are sometimes berthed).
