Claim this place to tell your story your way.
The windmill was built in the early 18th century and was used to grind sugarcane into sugar, a key industry on the island during that time.
The decline of the sugar industry in the late 19th century led to the abandonment of many plantations, including the one at Peace Hill.
Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of St. Thomas, the British Virgin Islands, and the Caribbean Sea from the hilltop location.
The park, established in 1956, protects over 60% of the island's natural and historical resources, including the windmill.
The short trail to the windmill is accessible and offers a serene setting for visitors to enjoy nature and history.
