You can stroll amid the ruins of this 17-acre estate, a former 19th-century sugarcane plantation village, which contains varied ecosystems from semi-arid cactus to lush green rain forest.

We stopped here for a couple of hours of history and botany. Amidst the ruins of an old sugar plantation, grows a garden full of plants brought to St. Croix by the various waves of settlers on the island. The ruins and the excellent map and guide tell the story of the plantation, the enslaved workers and the others who lived here. Most plants are identified with their common and Latin names.

A new certified organic farm (est. 2015) at a National Historic Site. This 18th-century sugar and cattle plantation has been turned into a landmark. It features a historical museum of the Lawaetz Family and other prior estate tenants, dating to pre-colonial native caribbean people.

The road in is quite long and in poor shape dirt road with lots of potholes. But if you are comfortable with that it is worth the drive in. An off the beaten path destination no cost of admission and really worth seeing.

Located in the middle of Prince Street, this historic building was designed by the well-known Danish architect Hingleberg in the 1830s. Today it's the police station.

I am already booking a trip back to Rust Op Twist this spring. The property is filled with history, the sound of the surf, the magical water, brain coral littering the beach... the sugar mill and ruins have the same paths walked by those who worked there hundreds of years earlier. The cottage is a perfect island home, quiet, bright, and a great place to escape to. We did yoga up at the sugar mill every morning - jt was incredible. The hosts are an amazing family who are eager to share the beautiful history of the property with you. I highly recommend this property.
