Interesting but main house currently closed.
Estate Whim Museum的点评
点评：This is an interesting site - but we did not feel it was a "must see" in its current state.
We got there in time for the 10:15 guided tour. We were told that the guide hadn't shown up for work that day (in a way that made us think that was a regular occurrence).
The price was $10 per person. They required cash.
There is a piece of paper listing the sites on the plantation. It was a bit hard to follow - a decent map would have helped.
The main plantation house - the site we most wanted to see - was closed. Apparently it has been closed since the storm in 2017. It sounds like they are waiting for FEMA to give them some money before they repair it.
There are a few plantation out buildings - a couple are open and have exhibits. The vast majority of exhibits focus on slavery and the history of some individuals who came to St Croix as slaves.
One of the buildings is a cookhouse. The self-guided piece of paper encouraged one to visit there and try some local food and tea. We entered the cookhouse and there was a good smell of baked goods. We dropped some hints, but the lady working in the cookhouse seemed very reluctant to give out samples. I'm not sure why. Eventually, we managed to get a small sample of bush tea. The food, however, she held on to.
All over St Croix one sees the ruins of small stone windmills that once powered the rollers used to crush sugar cane. At Whim Plantation, you can get close to one of these windmills in fairly good shape. That was a highlight for me.
Until the plantation house has been restored and opened to the public, I would classify this site as "if you have extra time" rather than "must see." Hopefully, at some point the plantation house will be restored, the tour guide will show up, they will accept credit card payments, they will have fuller information on a range of topics....and maybe you'll even get a food sample.

翻译：这是一个有趣的网站 - 但我们并不认为它在目前的状态下是“必看”的。
我们及时赶到了那里，参加了 10:15 的导游。我们被告知导游那天没有来上班（在某种程度上让我们认为这是经常发生的事情）。
价格是每人10美元。他们需要现金。
有一张纸列出了种植园的地点。这有点难以理解——一张像样的地图会有所帮助。
主种植园 - 我们最想参观的地方 - 已关闭。显然，自 2017 年风暴以来，它就已经关闭了。听起来他们正在等待 FEMA 给他们一些钱，然后再修复它。
有几座种植园建筑——其中几座开放并有展览。绝大多数展品都集中在奴隶制和一些作为奴隶来到圣克罗伊的人的历史。
其中一栋建筑是一间厨房。这张自助纸鼓励人们去那里参观并尝试一些当地的食物和茶。我们走进厨房，一股烘焙食品的香味扑鼻而来。我们给出了一些提示，但在厨房工作的那位女士似乎很不愿意提供样品。我不知道为什么。最终，我们设法获得了一小部分灌木茶样品。不过，食物她还是保留了下来。
在圣克罗伊岛，人们可以看到小型石风车的废墟，这些风车曾经为压榨甘蔗的滚筒提供动力。在 Whim Plantation，您可以近距离接触其中一座形状相当完好的风车。这对我来说是一个亮点。
在种植园房屋修复并向公众开放之前，我会将这个地点归类为“如果您有多余时间”而不是“必须参观”。希望在某个时候种植园会被修复，导游会出现，他们会接受信用卡付款，他们会获得有关一系列主题的更全面的信息......也许您甚至会得到食物样品。
