Elaine Ione Sprauve Library and Museum

On the hill just above Cruz Bay is the Enighed Estate Great

House, built in 1757. Enighed is the Danish word for `concord`,

meaning unity or peace. The great house and its surrounding

buildings (a sugar-production factory and horse-driven

mill) were destroyed by fire and hurricanes, and the house

sat in ruins until it was restored in 1982. Today it is home

to the library and museum and houses a small collection of

Indian pottery, colonial artifacts, and contemporary craft

work by local artisans. The library hosts occasional crafts

demonstrations and classes. Free. Open weekdays 9am-5pm.
