Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill

At the peak of sugar production in the 18^th Century, there were about 500 windmills across the island; but now the Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill, having been one of the largest, is the only complete sugar windmill surviving in the Caribbean. 

The wind-driven machinery that ground the sugarcane in the 18th and 19th centuries is still intact, but the mill is no longer operational. 

Restored in the 1960’s, the mill includes an exhibit of the equipment used to produce sugar at the time when the industry was run by wind-power generated from mills such as this one. 

The rubble walls are comprised of boulders held together with a mixture of egg-white and coral dust (there was no cement when this plantation house was built!)

Morgan Lewis stands on around 3, 000 square feet of gently sloping land, approximately half of the way between the top of Cherry Tree Hill to the west and Shorey Village to the east.
