Museo Hacienda Buena Vista, Coffee plantation museum in Barrio Magueyes, Ponce, Puerto Rico
The 81-acre museum complex includes 11 original buildings, featuring a manor house, stables, and processing mills surrounded by subtropical forest.
The plantation, established by Don Salvador de Vives in 1833, expanded during the late 19th-century coffee boom to cover 500 acres of productive land.
The restored plantation buildings and authentic machinery demonstrate the methods of coffee production that made Puerto Rico a leading exporter in the 1880s.
Located 7 miles north of Ponce on Route PR-123, the museum operates from Wednesday to Sunday between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
The site contains the last remaining Barker hydraulic turbine, recognized as a Mechanical Engineering landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1994.
