Parc historique de la Canne à Sucre, Colonial sugar cane museum and cultural center in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
Description
The historic sugar cane park in Port-au-Prince is a museum documenting Haiti's history of sugar production. Inside you find old machinery, historical objects, and photographs showing how people worked in this field across generations.
History
The estate began as a sugar plantation during colonial times under different owners. After Haiti's independence, the site's purpose shifted and eventually it became a place to remember this history.
