Quick Summary

Annaberg Sugar Mill, Virgin Islands National Park
Annaberg Sugar Mill, Virgin Islands National Park Ruins of Annaberg Sugar Mill, Virgin Islands National Park, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, West Indies.

The Annaberg Sugar Mill is a ruin located on St. John, one of the United States Virgin Islands. This mill is part of the Virgin Islands National Park, which was established in 1956. The island's history includes Danish sugar plantations established in the late 17th century, with slavery abolished in 1848, leading to the decline of sugar cultivation. The landscape of St. John features steep mountains and valleys, and remnants of these plantations, like the Annaberg Sugar Mill (dating to 1718), can still be seen today.12
