Quarters of enslaved people, the sugar factory, the animal mill and the windmill still stand at Annaberg, looking out over the surrounding hillsides and Leinster Bay on St. John. Interpretation covers the global sugar market that drove slavery and colonialism in the Virgin Islands. The National Park Service also publishes 3D reconstructions of the structures through its Atlantic Slave Trade Project.
Taino people settled Cinnamon Bay before Danish colonists built a sugar plantation worked by enslaved Africans, and a half-mile boardwalk loop now runs through its ruins from the beach parking lot on St. John's North Shore Road. The one-mile Cinnamon Bay Trail climbs from east of the ruins to Centerline Road, with a 0.38-mile spur to the America Hill great house.
Three miles down to the beach from the trailhead near mile marker 5 on Centerline Road, past Danish sugar plantation ruins, stone cattle-grazing walls, pre-Columbian Taino rock carvings and some of the oldest and tallest trees on St. John. NPS describes it as strenuous, with steep, uneven, and rocky terrain and a long uphill return; check current trail conditions directly with NPS before setting out.
