  • The showpiece of the island’s plantation history, Whim Plantation Museum (seeWhim Plantation Museum) typifies plantations established by the Danish West Indian Company in the 1730s. Planters first grew cotton, but records show that by 1754 sugar was the main crop, a status it enjoyed until the 1920s. Refurbished by the St. Croix Landmarks Society, the plantation has an oval great house full of antiques. The outbuildings spread over its 12 acres include a windmill, sugar factory, and kitchen. Sugarcane still grows in nearby fields.
