This fort was finish built in the year of 1749 by the enslaved people blood, sweat, and tears. It also took 11 long and hardworking years to be completed. The colors of the fort are yellow and green with black cannons. The fort is named after King Christian VI and his symbol still stand at the entrance of the fort. This fort is now under national park service and it's a visitor's center today.
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.
