As a history nut, can I recommend the NeelKuti bari in Meherpur? Robert Clive defeated Sirajdullah and the papers were signed at this house. Very chilling when you consider how that battle decided the whole of India's face and solidified The British East India Company's dominion. However it wasn't until 1799 when the last resisting force of Tipu Sultan was vanquished; hence giving Britain 100% control (with the exception of the princely states). But the deal was done more or less done in 1757 in that house in Meherpur. Fascinating!
I took the tour myself, and there are other cool little intricacies inside and outside the house. But I shall not reveal them to you and hope you get the chance to visit the place yourself one day.
Keep it 100,
Roey
