The Estate Golden Grove Great House, which was the residence of A.J. Blackwood who once owned Estate Adventure. Estate Golden Grove is next to Estate Adventure. In 1964, the great house became the second campus of the College of the Virgin Islands on St. Croix. This great house was built by enslaved Africans more than 200 years ago. It was used as classrooms for students in 1964, located on 130 acres of sugarcane land donated by the federal government. (Photo by Charles Edwin Taylor, MD)
