The Wim plantation is an old sugarcane plantation located on the island of Santa Cruz and built around 1734. Initially, cotton was grown here, and only in 1754 sugar cane was grown. Over time, the plantation has become one of the largest and most prosperous plantations. On an area of about 48,000 sq.m. the remains of ancient buildings of the original construction in the style of Dutch neoclassicism are still preserved. On the territory are houses of workers (in which interior items were preserved and their typical life is shown), buildings for reed processing, a windmill, and a souvenir shop. The plantation changed several owners before becoming the property of the Virgin Islands Government. Since 1954, the museum and its territory were given over to the management of the Landmarks Society charity, which is engaged in supporting the museum exposition, popularizing the museum and the history of the island as a whole.
