yulee sugar mill ruins印象
-
This is a remarkable spot to visit. This is not a replica but the original remnants of an old Florida sugar mill with some signage provided for information. There are no guides or gift shops. It is right around the corner from the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.
-
Interesting to walk around and see the way it used to be. Located on the side of the road with a park and parking area across the street. Nice shady place to walk around and take a look. Only takes a few minutes.
-
This roadside park features a brief glimpse into one aspect of life in Old Florida, nineteenth-century sugar production. The self-guided interpretation is sparse but complete enough to tell most of the story. Wear bug spray.

Not a lot to see but it is a nice stroll through the ruins and there is a nice park with picnic tables across the street. We've stopped here on two of our trips to Florida and each time someone has had to pick an orange or two.
-
So happy we stopped to wander around this small area of minimal (but very interesting) ruins and a few signs to help us figure out how the sugar mill operated. Such a short distance off the main road for so much historical information about some insight into a fascinating part of Florida history.

We walked through the ruins and read facts about processing cane juices into sugar for Confederate troops during the Civil War. The visual remains, such as the vats that captured the juices and the mill wheel mechanisms were instrumental in understanding the sugar making process. Enjoyed the education.
-
The mills ruins and the explanatory signs give you glimpse into the sugar cane industry that now doesn't seem to exist in Florida. The shaded setting with picnic benches and plenty of parking are relaxing and informative.A stop doesn't have to be long though a cafe/bar is near enough to walk to.

half of the interpretive placards were missing, but it was actually interesting anyway. Start at the north end, nearer route 19, otherwise it make less sense.
-
This historic site has been partially restored. There are some informational signs but some have been removed. It is a very interesting place to visit. We looked up more information in a pamphlet we found. You can visit in a half hour on your way to other places.

If you find yourself near Homosassa springs, stop at the Sugar Mill ruins. It is a 20 min experience to see what's left of Yulee's Mill that provided for the confederates some time ago...interesting.
