Morgan Lewis Windmill stands high in rural St. Andrew and is one of Barbados’ most distinctive sugar-industry landmarks.
Visit Barbados says the site is maintained by the Barbados National Trust and preserves machinery once used to process sugar cane with wind power.
History beyond the machinery
The mill belongs to a plantation economy built on enslaved labor. Its engineering is important, but so are the people forced to grow and process the cane that made the system profitable.
Views
The hilltop setting overlooks the rolling Scotland District and east-coast landscape, making the grounds worthwhile even when interior access or demonstrations are unavailable.
Planning
Restoration and demonstration schedules can change, so check current Barbados National Trust information before visiting.
