Soufrière Estate - Sugar Mill

The Old Mill and Waterwheel, a restored sugar mill with a working waterwheel, now hosts luncheons for tour groups, serving a Caribbean buffet (reservations only). This restoration project was completed in 1996. The Old Mill was built in 1765 and the water wheel was used to crush the sugar cane, produce lime oil and generated the very first electricity to the village of Soufrière at a cost of 25 cents per month per house.

As yet the mill is not connected to the gardens, but there are plans to do so.
