Frederiksted Fort/Fort Frederik

This fort was completed in 1760. Its an excellent place to come and learn about the importance of St.Croix. The fort is in the colors of white and red with black cannons.  Above the numbers 1760, there is a symbol for King Fredrick V. The fort is a museum and art gallery and is open on weekdays and on Saturdays. It's free for  tourist and islanders to see. In the picture below, there is a model or structure of how the enslaved people would build the homes in Fredericksted after the the big fireburn.
