"The Estate Whim Plantation Museum, billed as the onlysugar plantation museum in the Virgin Islands, isset onmagnificently landscaped grounds occupying 12 acres of what was formerly a 150-acre property. The restored early-18th-century buildings includea great house, fully restored windmill, and sugar-factory ruins that are open to visitors and can be toured alone or with a docent. Sugarcane still grows in one of the plantation gardens."

The architecture is beautiful although the history behind it is terrible. The museum is currently not operating. Many of the placards were missing information. A blue "tarp" adorned the roof of the main building. I would like to see the buildings and their history, both the good and bad, preserved, so that visitors may fully understand what happened during those times.

I enjoyed the historical lesson while on these grounds. I am excited about bringing my children here to learn about the mill as well. Nice weekend trip. Took about an hour to walk through it all.

Museum is closed, but the grounds are open and you will likely have the place to yourself. Peaceful walk on a sunny day. The Google maps directions are dated and take you to an entrance that no longer exists. The best way to find is by looking for the sign on Centerline Rd near KISS cafe.

A good experience viewing the remnants of the sugar plantation. We opted for the self guided tour with map. Limited signs required a certain amount of looking up information about sugar manufacturing which might have been provided in the tour with a guide.

The volunteers were both nice & knowledgeable. The history of the place is amazing, & there is a moat around the great house that you can walk in.

Accepting donations for admission as the great house is closed due to Maria. Volunteers in the office are pushy. Not much to see but enjoyed the wonderful sugar mill remains and other buildings here. Deserves to be restored!

Worth a trip. About an hour to see it all. The people there are very nice and knowledgeable on the history. The main house is closed for renovation but still worth going to see

Love the lady telling the story of how Whim Sugar Mill came about. She is located where you pay access to the grounds. A delicious handmade peppermint candy ok 8m and tamarind candy balls await you at Granny's house where one lady makes candy and one makes rugs out of colorful strips of cloth.
