Overview

  • Each adventure begins in this restored plantation house originally built in the 1700s. The Museum tells the powerful storey of Trace Wilson who was born into slavery on the property in 1818 and her direct descendant Emilio Wilson. You will see depictions of what life was like on a plantation and learn about the customs, traditions, lifestyle, and stories that earned Sint Maarten the nickname ‘The Friendly Island.’

    After a brief orientation, embark on the Sky Explorer for the approximately 25-minute ride to the top of Sentry Hill, St. Maarten’s highest elevation at 1,125 feet. A series of platforms encircle the mountaintop showcasing 360-degree views of the whole island including vistas of neighbouring islands Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Barts, and Anguilla.

    When you are ready to descend simply board the Sky Explorer for the scenic trip down the mountain. Enjoy exploring the Estate, relax, and experience the special delights of St. Maarten, snacks and drinks at the restaurant.
