A Unique View of the Danish West Indian Life of the Early 1900s! Nestled in a valley northeast of Frederiksted, the Lawaetz Museum’s 18-century estate house, with its accompanying ruins and rambling garden, has a charming old-island quality. The location is on the National Historic Registry for its use as a farm and homestead for hundreds of years. Converted from a sugar plantation into a dairy ranch in the late 1890’s by a Danish farmer and occupied by his descendants for the last 100 years, it houses characteristic and unusual antique furnishings and heirlooms, providing a unique view of Danish West Indian life in the early 1900’s.

The house tour takes approximately 45 minutes to complete and costs $20 USD. The last daily tour begins at 2PM.
