Whim Museum watch house

This is the watch house or slavevagterbusene at Estate Whim plantation. Watch house was used as a look out place in case there was a fire in the sugarcane field. Other uses are where women’s fed their babies and care for them while their mothers are walking in the cane field. There are other uses for the watch houses beside what mention above.
