The United States Virgin Islands consist of St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John, all popular destinations in the Caribbean Sea. The islands are reached by several airlines and cruise ships. The St Croix airport is known as the Henry E. Rohlesen Airport. Car rental is available from the several major companies.

Driving directions: From the airport take the Melvin Evans Highway Route 66 east to Route 70 east into the historic town of Christiansted. The park is located at the bottom of King Street.

Did You Know?
Desiring land more suitable for sugar cultivation, the Danes purchased St. Croix from France in 1733, marking the first peaceful transfer of land in the Caribbean. Danish efforts to settle the island were initially delayed for a year following the devastating 1733 slave revolt on St. John.
