Grange Estate

The Grange Estate is a historic landmark on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It's located in the Caribbean near Puerto Rico and other U.S. Virgin Islands, including the British Virgin Islands. The home was built by James and Anne Lytton, who were related to Alexander Hamilton from Nevis. Rachel, Alexander’s mother, had been previously married when she returned to the island; along with the Hamilton family, they resided at the Grange Estate. She was later laid to rest in the Lytton family cemetery there.

Property tour with in person

We’ll tour a historic estate originally constructed around 1730 and completed by 1761; one section inspired Danish architectural styles for buildings within the colony's territory. The main crop grown here were sugarcane plants—a significant source of revenue for the farmhouse over its lifetime. Learn about architecture dating back to the early 1700s along with information on past homeowners, even some who had ties to royalty! Discover what life was like before emancipation (in 1848) until an unfortunate fire destroyed part of the building in 1858. Throughout our visit we stumbled upon remnants of Channey Plantation – where you can learn more about historical figures such as Alexander Hamilton and his mom, Rachel Fawcett. There are other interesting things too - check out their café serving up delicious regional cuisine, plus there's always something special waiting for you inside their little souvenir store. Don't forget though tickets need purchasing beforehand whether bought online or picked up when visiting them personally.
