Joseph Bess | Estate Whim Museum| St. Croix, USVI
The Estate Whim Museum’s mission is to interpret the plantation era of St. Croix and all its ramifications. In teaching the community about plantation life in the Danish West Indies, particularly, the island of St. Croix, history comes alive as you walk among the original early 18th century buildings. Estate Whim Museum is the only sugar plantation museum in the US Virgin Islands.
Other than the one or two required field trips during my formal schooling I never really went to the museum, but as an adult I get to correct that pattern and share it with my audience.

walking tour of grounds of Estate Whim Museum and Sugar Mill Ruins, St. Croix, U.S.V.I.
This is a walking tour of the grounds of the Estate Whim Museum and Sugar Mill ruins by our taxi driver on March 6, 2018. The museum was actually supposed to be open for a tour by our group but they weren't and thus our taxi driver did his best to show us around. This video is what we saw. Gave them 1 star on TripAdvisor for not caring enough to be open for our tour.

St.Croix Whim Museum Guide explains museum
The Whim Museum on St. Croix consists of the former home of the planation owner, an old windmill and gardens. The lady guide shown here gave us a wonderfully entertaining and informative talk. I wish I'd written down her name; she's worth the price of admission :)
She taught us how black molasses was used in place of mortar in the construction of many buildings on St. Croix and other islands.

Whim Plantation & St. George Village Botanical Gardens in St. Croix
St. Croix's Age of Prosperity that took place in the second half of the 18th century is celebrated here. Once over 300 Danish estates, today the ruins of the sugar mills make for an interesting tour, along with Scottish steam engines for crushing and distilling. Demonstrations and exhibits re-create the bygone era of the wealthy plantation owner. For those that enjoy pleasure gardens, the St. George Village Botanical Gardens near Frederiksted showcase over 1500 tropical plants on 16 acres of land that was once an Arawak village. Later, it was a Danish sugar plantation, then a cattle ranch, finally becoming the botanical gardens in 1972. The gardens are meticulously kept around the ruins of a 19th century sugar plantation.

front seat view narrated van ride on St. Croix from Estate Whim to St. George Botanical Gardens
This shows a front seat view of our narrated taxi or van ride from the Whim Estate Museum to the St. George Village Botanical Gardens on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands on March 6, 2018. Although the island is still recovering from the hurricane a few months before, the botanical gardens and Cruzan rum distillery were well worth visiting.
