North St John - Annaberg Sugar Mill Ruins

 
Preserved by the National Parks Services, the Annaberg Sugar Mill (built in the early 1700s) ruins are the most intact ruins of a sugar plantation in the entire U.S. Virgin Islands. The landscaped grounds feature a self-guided walking tour through the village, windmill, horse mill, dripping cistern, oven, rum still, slave quarters and dungeon.

Drawings of schooners on the dungeon wall are believed to be more than 100 years old. Park experts give demonstrations of island traditions such as baking, weaving, gardening and crafting. The ruins are listed on the National Registry of Historic Landmarks.
Tips: Demonstrations usually take place Monday to Saturday at 10 a.m. and 2 pm.
