OVERVIEW

One of some twenty-five active sugar factories on St. John by the 1780s. Annaberg's windmill, boiling house, rum still and slave quarters survive in ruin within Virgin Islands National Park. The 1733 slave insurrection on St. John, one of the earliest and longest in the Americas, began on this island.

HISTORY

The Park Service interprets the site around the lives of the enslaved people who worked it.

REPORTED ACTIVITY

Visitors report voices and drumming near the ruins at dusk. The Park Service does not present the site as haunted.

VISITING

Open daily within the national park; a signed interpretive trail runs through the ruins.
