Saint Croix Island International Historic Site

The National Park Service preserves Saint Croix Island International Historic site (IHS) as a monument to the beginning of the United States and Canada. The site is focused on establishing a quiet atmosphere of respect meant to promote contemplation of the heroism and suffering of the French colonists in 1604-05. A short walk to the interpretive shelter looking onto the estuary and St. Croix Island is recommended.
