and

Wonders of Barbados"!
 Location:
St.Andrew
History
Morgan Lewis is one of the only two intact and restored
sugar mills in the Caribbean. The other is at Betty's Hope
Estate on one of our sister islands, Antigua.
Maintained by the Barbados National Trust, the mill includes
an exhibit of the equipment used to produce sugar at the time
when the industry was run by windpower generated from mills
such as this one.
Architectural Features
Although the old plantation house has seen better days
it is still worth a visit! 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!).
To discover more about the history of Barbados,
take an island tour. ATV Safari will take you to some of the most picturesque spots in Barbados on the back of your own, easy-to-use all terrain vehicle!
