The St John Dome

Our Island Home

In 1956, tycoon Laurance Rockefeller purchased a large portion of St. John and turned it into a national park to preserve the beauty of the island. Today, the smallest of the 3 US Virgin Islands, St. John is 28 square miles – almost two-thirds of which is designated as a US national park. As other islands in the Caribbean become overdeveloped with super-size resorts and tourist attractions, St. John remains remarkably untouched – a trait that only increases its lure.
