Things to do in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands: The Best Museums

April 13, 2022 Oliva Fomby

Isn’t it romantic? The Caribbean island of St. Croix is practically the backdrop of a Hollywood love story. White sand beaches and lush rainforests set the scene for tropical bliss. Take in the historic small town charm of Christiansted and Frederiksted, sip your way through a spirited tour of the Cruzan Rum Distillery or explore the ruins of a sugar plantation. And the diving…oh, the diving. Think shipwrecks, think vibrant ocean life, think endless underwater possibilities.

The artist, Barbara, is very talented and friendly. She is usually in her studio and will speak with you about her work and the island. Walking through her studio introduces you to all the colors of the rainbow, and local subjects also. Visiting this studio is a Must-Do when on St. Croix.

Estate Whim Museum

Estate Whim has long been known for its colonial-era Great House, slave quarters, and mill factory complex; but much more can be found on the museum’s twelve acres. Various museum exhibits include My Granny House, the Living Museum, and rotating exhibits in the North and South Exhibit Halls. Also located on the museum’s grounds is the Research Library & Archives, where visitors can conduct genealogical and historical research and purchase photographs from our unique photograph collection.

Fort Frederik

This bright-red historic fort in Frederiksted has a local history museum, courtyard and stables.

Reviewed By 828stephenr

The view from the parapith is great, Be sure to spend time in the very well furnished commodore's quarters on the second floor above the arch. Train a cannon on your ship via your camera. . The exhibits are not that many. Don't know what effect this past year's storms had on the fort. Does give a feel for living back then with contrast enlisted and leader.. Was there two years ago in 2016
