If you’re heading to New Smyrna Beach, take a 5-minute jaunt off the beaten path to visit one of Florida’s historic sugar mills.
These beautiful ruins make our list because they only lasted 5 years as a sugar mill before it was destroyed by the Seminole Indians. To think it has lasted nearly 200 years since is unimaginable.
The mill was once part of the Cruger and DePeyster Plantation. Built out of coquina in 1830, destroyed on Christmas Day in 1835.
