Built by 18th-century slaves, this original 1780 sugar works structure was once part of a thriving harbourside sugar plantation. Sugar was produced here until the 1940s. During the 19th century, its Timber frame became what is believed to have been the first Virgin Islands Guest House.Inside is a treasure trove of island artefacts, including old muskets, coal irons, bedding stuffed with banana leaves, woven baskets; a maritime display; a native folk medicine exhibit (slate bush is good for the kidneys, and angelica works for cataracts and colds); and a rotating art gallery.
