The drawing is of the Old Richmond Prison that was built in 1834. the building was left unmaintained and forgotten as result the rich history and beauty of the build is being lost. the drawing is of an entrance to the jail cells from the back of the prison as if there was a court yard or open space that used to be there. To me the drawing shows a building that has been threw years and years of natural elements, human neglect and abandonment. but yet it still stand strong and tall in all its glory to show us a blast from the past.
We are the first stewards and ambassadors of a teen program started by the St.Croix National Park Service and Inner Changes. We all currently attending the St.Croix Educational Complex from tenth to twelfth grade. The purpose of our program is to learn the rich history of St.Croix and share it with others. Our knowledge goes back to the arrival of the enslaved people and even further back to the indians of the island. This program allowed us to experience the history of our island at first hand.
