Estate Whim Plantation Museum
The Estate Whim Plantation Museum tells the story of the people who lived and worked on the Estate Whim plantation in the 18th century. It is the Virgin Islands' only sugar plantation museum. The sugar mill, a cookhouse, and the enslaved people's quarters are among the structures on the property. Exhibits provide insight into how enslaved workers cultivated and processed sugar, as well as the plantation's economics. Following the hurricanes of 2017, some areas of the complex, such as the great house and the much-lauded windmill, are currently closed for construction.
Despite the closed attractions, visitors thought the museum was worth visiting. Reviewers said they gained a better understanding of the Virgin Islands' rich and varied history.
The Estate Whim Plantation Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, as well as on days when cruise ships are in port. Adult admission is $10, while children aged 7 to 12 pay $5.
