Review:

Fort Christian is a Danish and Norwegian-constructed for within St. Thomas' Charlotte Amalie, originally constructed between 1672 and 1680 as the island's first colonial settlement. The fort continued to serve as a major military camp on the island through the end of the island's Danish rule in 1917. Between 1960 and 1977, the fort was operated as a United States National Historic Site, though today it is operated under the care of the Virgin Islands as a territorial park within the Charlotte Amalie Historic District. The designated National Historic Landmark showcases a variety of historic artifacts from the island's colonial period within its St. Thomas Museum, which is open to the public Monday through Friday. Historic photos and documents are showcased, along with colonial-period furniture and exhibits on the region's flora and fauna.
