Morgan Lewis Windmill

Located in the hills of Saint Andrew parish, Morgan Lewis Windmill stands tall with its massive sails overlooking the eastern coastline of Barbados.

Built in 1727, this sugar windmill operated until 1947, when Egbert L. Bannister donated it to the Barbados National Trust for preservation as a museum.

The windmill demonstrates traditional sugar production methods during monthly grinding sessions from February to July, producing fresh cane juice for visitors.

The interior museum displays sugar mill artifacts, plantation photographs, and equipment, while the adjacent Grind Artisan Cafe serves local refreshments.

The structure's walls were constructed using boulders joined with a mixture of egg whites and coral dust due to cement unavailability in the 18th century.
