Morgan Lewis Windmill

Morgan Lewis Windmill, Sugar windmill in Saint Andrew, Barbados

Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill is a stone tower windmill with four sails on a hill in Saint Andrew, about 1 km from Barbados's northeast coast. Its original grinding machinery survives intact, and a museum of sugar-mill and plantation artifacts, with old photographs, lines the interior wall. Visitors can climb to the top.

Built around 1727, the mill ground cane until 1947. Its owner Egbert L. Bannister donated it to the Barbados National Trust in 1962, not at the time of closure, for preservation as a museum. After restoration in 1964 and 1974, it was listed in the 1996 World Monuments Watch, repaired with American Express support in 1997, dismantled, and reopened in 1999.

The windmill demonstrates how sugar was processed in past times, and monthly grinding demonstrations from February to July show visitors the actual production of fresh cane juice. These working sessions give a hands-on sense of how people labored here centuries ago.

The mill stands on a hill in Morgan Lewis, Saint Andrew, about 1 km from the coast. Visitors can climb to the top of the tower. During the crop season, February to July, the sails are fitted and the mill runs one Sunday each month, grinding cane and giving cane juice.

Since 2013 the mill has appeared on the reverse of the Barbadian $2 bill, so the structure visitors climb is also the image carried in everyday currency. It is one of only two sugar windmills still working anywhere in the world, the other being Betty's Hope on Antigua.
