Morgan Lewis Mill

Windmill-museum

Out of over five hundred sugar windmills that once dotted the Barbados landscape, Morgan Lewis Windmill – named after its first owner – was the last windmill to crush cane, ceasing operations in 1947.

Restored as a museum by the National Trust of Barbados, it hosts a small exhibition that provides insights into the equipment and mechanics of sugar cane processing. A small café in the grounds serves light refreshments, and there’s a marvellous ocean view.
