Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins State Historic Site
Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins State Historic Site, Historic sugar mill site in Homosassa, Florida, US.
The preserved ruins showcase iron machinery, stone foundations, and a 40-foot limestone chimney from a substantial 19th-century sugar processing operation.
David Levy Yulee established this 5,000-acre sugar plantation in 1851, employing 1,000 enslaved workers to produce sugar for Confederate troops until 1864.
The site reflects Florida's agricultural heritage and complex history through artifacts of steam-powered machinery used in the sugar production process.
Located directly off U.S. Highway 19, the park provides interpretive exhibits, picnic facilities, and clear pathways around the industrial remains.
The iron gears and cane press machinery at this National Register site were transported by ship from New York during the plantation's construction.
