Annaberg Sugar Mill Ruins at Virgin Islands National Park in December 2007
Annaberg Sugar Mill Ruins are located on St. John, Virgin Islands (18°21'46"N 64°43'47"W). According to the Historic American Buildings Survey report (HABS VI-18) the plantation was under cultivation by 1731, but the stone structures probably date to the 1820s or 1830s. The park conducts living history exhibits, including cooking historic recipies with charcoal made on-site, and tending a garden of historic plants.
