[Up]

The Estate Whim is located east of Frederiksted on route 70 and is a restored 18th-century sugar plantation. 

Wind Mill

The windmill is an adaptation of a Dutch-style grinding mill. The dome is turned to carry the sails into the required position. As cut sugar cane ferments rapidly, this puppy would have been operating at full-tilt during the harvest.

Geat House

The Great House was built in the  1700's. The walls are almost three feet thick and constructed of just about everything but the kitchen sink.
