The Christiansted wharf was a cosmopolitan port throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.
Christiansted National Historic Site was established in 1952 as the first unit of the National Park Service in the Virgin Islands of the United States. Covering over seven acres the park tells the stories about Danish economy and ways of life, and the interactions of people in Europe, Africa, West Indies, and North America during the Danish era of occupation of the Virgin Islands (1734-1917).
For the safety of our guests and to protect park resources, all National Parks on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands are closed ahead of Tropical Storm Ernesto.
Christiansted National Historical Site will temporarily close the parking lot at Fort Christiansvaern on Wednesday July 24, 2024 from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 pm (noon).
The National Park Service seeks public comments on the reimplementation of a daily parking fee at the Christiansted National Historic Site visitor parking lot.
