This Historical Windmill was used by the Enslaves to make Sugar Canes and other crops that was grown in the area. They used the windmill to power a machine that was almost like an old wringer. Instead of only two poleslike rolling pins, it had three. It squeezed the juice out of the sugar cane.
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.
