Today these are all must see attractions you should definitely pencil into your calendar.

BY the 1900’s, The Federation of the West Indies that embodied St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla and other islands collapsed. While the other islands formed individual constitutions, Anguilla, St. Kitts, and Nevis were made an Associated Statehood. This evoked feelings of bondage, within the Anguillian’s.
