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.
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.
