Dunlawton Sugar Mill Botanical Gardens

Dunlawton Sugar Mill Botanical Gardens

Interpretive signs recount the history of this famous 16th century sugar mill and of the pioneers who braved the harsh New World conditions in an effort to make a living refining sugar cane.

The Dunlawton Sugar Mill Botanical Gardens features original sugar mill equipment, such as a sugar cane crusher that was once powered by a horse. Paths run through the scenic gardens past replicas of dinosaurs and to the ruins of the sugar mill.
