Annaberg Sugar Plantation

What an interesting piece of history. The people enslaved to run these mills were tortured, and seeing the hole they punished them in brought tears to my eyes. Just imagining how hot and what hard work in a bug infested environment it must have been gave the place a solemn feeling for me. The view from the sugar mill is spectacular. We saw deer, and it was good learning about the history of St John. It's a short walk up a hill or on stairs to get to the site. We did not meet the volunteer that gives information about the site and is knowledgeable about the plants that surround the area. Recommend sturdy shoes, bug spray and sunscreen. There was some shade and breezes off the ocean. There are also picnic tables. The donkey signs were obvious also. We enjoyed our visit.

Well worth the drive and walk up. The grounds are preserved with a few remaining structures. You can feel the breeze of history near the old windmill. Please read all the markers.

Enjoyed this trip especially with my drone. It had amazing views and very intriguing history surrounding it.

This was a highlight! Great historical markers with brief descriptions. We were lucky to meet a gal in the kitchen who gave us a little bread and some tea. Donations are welcome.

Very sad story. Very glad to be able to still have this to show us and remind us of what we have done in the past to each other

Stunning, preserved. We met local Ital who graciously walked us through the garden & educated us on what plants are medicinal and their healing properties. He then offered me a fresh papaya. His spirit was warm and his knowledge was great!!! Thank you Ital!!!

This place is amazing. First time up here and it was worth every minute. The views are amazing. When we visited we were able to see the turtles and their babies swimming, it was so cool!!! The views are breathtaking. The ruins were definitely worth seeing and reading about their history. Make sure to stop here when you are on St Johns.

Nice site to walk around. Park staff are knowledgeable and helpful if on site. Beautiful views as well. Interesting history of plantations and the island.
